Interviewed May 2011 in Windsor, ON (Canada) (took a day)
After applying online for a position with the Census, I was called in to take a test. Originally, I thought I had applied for an Enumerator position, but I ended up getting interviewed for a call centre position that paid a bit more and had additional hours versus an Enumerator. They checked my test results immediately after I finished and I was given an interview on the spot.
The interview consisted of a number of different situational questions, it was very similar to other federal government interviews I had had in the past.

We went to a group skills tests and get a score after the test most people passed their test. one week later i got a phone interview without warning but it was easy going. I waited for 1 week to get a offer from them.

Specific statistical questions were asked, but the interviewer had no inclination towards stats. Difficult to give an answer when you dont know whether to be specific or explanatory

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 2+ weeks)
I was kind of surprised by the type of questions I got. I was mainly expecting technical questions but they asked mainly general/behavior type of questions and some very specific questions on the position.
