A census metropolitan area (CMA) or a census agglomeration (CA) can have more than one core. The boundaries and population data for the cores that are used to delineate CMAs and CAs are taken from the previous census.
A census is a study of every unit, everyone or everything, in a population. It is known as a complete enumeration, which means a complete count. What is a sample (partial enumeration)? A sample is a subset of units in a population, selected to represent all units in a population of interest. It is a partial enumeration because it is a count from part of the population. Information from the sampled units is used to estimate the characteristics for the entire population of interest.
