If you take Uhuniau's link and head east to Ottawa, you'll get the census tracts.

There's some tech.gremlin related to the fact that the Ottawa-Gatinea CMA spans two provinces; the programmer is working on a patch.

it was sketchy for me too, but I did get it to work once.

Undercoverage is about 3% nationally (don't know what it has been for Ottawa off-hand) consistently every census plus or minus a bit. This is something they know and expect. That is why Statistics Canada considers the population estimates to be the more accurate population figure. Next year the results of the undercoverage surveys will be released which will correct the undercoverage.
