Why cant I find 1921 Canadian census in Family Search
I can find 1931 in familysearch.
But I cannot find any records for 1921 Canadian Census. I can go to the Government site and get the information surprisingly easily enough. But I wanted to integrate it into the familysearch and some fields are not easily read as they are the originals. I would have thought that since the 1931 is available the 1921 would also be there.
Why cant I find 1921 Canadian census?
Thank you.

The FS Wiki is a good place to check where you can find particular records. https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Canada_Census

Thanks again. That is interesting.
Couple of things.
I think the list is a bit outdated. The below snap shows, IF I UNDERSTAND IT the 1931 census is not on Familysearch, but when I search I do find things. So I think it is there.
Also in everyone's favor is that the Canadian Government seems to allow free access to the 1921 Census, (I have not checked other years)
Search: Census of Canada, 1921 - Library and Archives Canada (bac-lac.gc.ca)
Wowsers.
However my big problem is that, while I can find a relatives Census for 1921 I cannot find a street address.
Item: John Hustler - Library and Archives Canada (bac-lac.gc.ca)
I have tried looking at backward pages (not that easy cause there is no < link to move back.
And I have searched well a variety of things districts etc. and you can get an idea of area but not address. (for me anyway) I was hoping some smarter Canadian could help who may have experience. The address is important because we are trying to match some military records to a particular address. We think we have the right person but an address would be the clincher.
Regards.
PS So Based on your help I pushed forward and found the record on Ancestry. (not sure if this link will work.) Un fortunately no address other than Humber Bay, which is more of an area than a street from what I know. There is a street number but I looked at each record preceding and could not see a street, maybe bad Eyes.

If you noticed on the Wiki, it is undergoing an update, due to finish approximately today. The 1931 is a new addition.
Also, the FS Wiki is open-edit, like the FSFT. We all can contribute.

Try the 1921 Toronto City Directory. It says Jas Hustler lived on the east side of Salisbury Ave.
Here's a map.
