"With the recent release of the 1921 Census of Canada by Statistics Canada, it is now available for browsing on Ancestry.ca through a partnership with Library and Archives Canada!
The 1921 Census of Canada is the most recent census available to the public and its records cover Canada's peak immigration period, the rise of aboriginal and women's rights and the formation of this country's modern identity.
Indexing all 8.8 million records is keeping us busy here at Ancestry.ca, but you won't have to wait long to get a first look at the collection. You can browse the images of the entire collection for FREE now via the link below! Be sure to return often for updates — the entire collection will be indexed and ready to search later this year."

After 2 hours of browsing, I have found my infant Dad (aged 4 months) with my grandparents living in the house where my grandma lived from her marriage in 1919 until her death in 1975.
Now just need to find both sets of great grandparents, but that will have to wait a bit - I don't think my eyes will cope with more browsing at the moment! ;)

FRANKLIN (Harrow/Pinner 1700 to 1850); PURSGLOVE (ALL Southern counties of England); POOLE (Tetbury/Malmesbury and surrounding areas of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire (1650 to 1900); READ London/Suffolk
When I try to browse the images from the uk site, it only directs me to a Worldwide Upgrade page. :( My uk membership is valid until January 2014.
When you read
Library and Archives Canada is committed to making the 1921 Census’ rich and complex information accessible and available to all Canadians, no matter where they live, in the next few weeks. Further details on the 1921 Census’ availability will be shared once they are available
It’s finally here! Have you taken a look at it yet? What do you think? The 1921 Canada Census was the first census take...
Not a happy bunny! I can trek up to the local library to use their clunky library edition, but it's very disappointing, especially after the way the US census images were promptly made widely available for transcription.
it seems a bit disingenuous, then to have put it behind a paywall!

Un recensement est une liste officielle des personnes qui résident dans une région particulière à un moment donné, alors que les listes des électeurs contiennent les électeurs inscrits dans une région particulière. Les informations fournies par les recensements vous aident à mieux comprendre votre famille et apprécier comment et où ils vivaient. Les listes des électeurs servent de confirmation de résidence durant les années entre les recensements.
Probably only useful at the moment if you happen to know the enumeration sub district from the 1911 census and your ancestors stayed put in the intervening years, but they are hoping to have the whole lot indexed ready for name searches "later this year" whatever that means ...

Hmm, not sure why it's not working for you as it works for me as an ancestry "guest". Is your ancestry user name showing top right? If so, it might be worth logging out and trying again with the link I posted?????
