That one is tricky; the census takes place in May, so in many cases many university students who are from out of town are physically out of town for the summer. Exceptions of course being grad students who are typically there 12 months of the year, international students who stay in Canada during the summer, and domestic students who stay in their university city to work for the summer. However, students physically live in their university city for the majority of the year.
Case in point - Kingston, where over 90% of Queen's students are not from Kingston. This issue came up on City Council several years ago when they were trying to determine new electoral ward boundaries and students felt they were underrepresented as they were not counted as living in Kingston at the time of the census.
