This is what happened on May 10, 2021 when I attempted to take our Canadian national census. My misfortune to have encountered an agent over the phone who just did not understand what was meant when I said that I was blind and needed assistance to complete my census.
Three times in total I had to tell this agent that I could not see and was unable to take a picture of the census code number sent to me via mail with my iPhone. I practically had to beg and plead with this agent to please listen to me.
Finally, after about 15 minutes they somehow understood. Help was on the way but I'll say again: Government agents really need to be trained when dealing with callers with a disability.
