These annoying pricks are ruthless, they say they are doing random surveys to households, I made the mistake of answering one day at 8pm on a friday evening and participated in one of their surveys that lasted 30 minutes long. The survey had a lot of personal questions that, by right, is my choice to refuse to answer in the first place. Since then, these the stupid [***] will not stop calling my house.... 5-7 times a day... AT LEAST, and now they will not quit!! They repeatedly phone my house all hours of the day and night while my kids are asleep, I have told them to stop calling! They wake up my kids with night calling, my husband who works the night shift, they interrupt dinners and other important long distance calls we are trying to have with family from out of town... its sickening how these idiots have no respect or care for others, and they will just keep calling back. Mornings nights, weekends all the time at least 6 times a week!! I have had enough so I began to block their calls from my house phone, so they call back with different numbers such as: 780-495-2852,780-495-6813,780,495,6818,780-495-2812, 780-495-3744,780-495-7844,780-495-2148,780-495-4609....I will be reporting these numbers as well, and hopefully people can be made aware of what these ignorant [***] are doing to people ...they are a very unprofessional and nothing but a harassment outfit. They are going to be reported by me and I'm sure, by many others due to their intrusive and incessant phone calls. My next step is to report them to www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca, contact my telephone service provider and hopefully they will place a block on any calls that come in from Stats Canada or I will be changing my number !!! What ever you do DO NOT ANSWER or they will forever be calling you all day, every day, harassing you and your family !! To any of you Stats Canada [***] who keep calling and harassing people who don't want your calls, why don't you [***] off and get a real job , thanks

Complain About a Telemarketing Call

To file a complaint you will need:

Your phone number (where the call was received)
The name or phone number of the telemarketer
The date you received the call
You can complain about any call you received that violated an Unsolicited Telecommunications Rule (e.g. National DNCL Rules, Telemarketing Rules, or Automated Dialing-Announcing Device Rules).

This is Statistics Canada, you cannot decline to do the survey You're required to participate by law. However they do call a lot. And they always call when someone would normally be at work. Whether the person calling offers it or not, you can request to complete surveys online (you'll need to give an e-mail address) and every 3 months or so you'll get an e-mail with a survey link (on an official government domain) with a hash based password. You can also request that they send a form in the mail to complete if you like.

So you CAN put an end to the phone calls, but until the survey period you are a part of ends, you cannot decline to participate unless you have a medical reason; such as being comatose or in hospice care (end of life).

The only other way to get out of the survey is to move away from the property.  As they are essentially attempting to gather demographical information on the area more than the specific people.

They can't be put on the National DNCL.
