I have a need to download the data for Canada from OSM-boundaries, and

I've done so, but I don't see the data for the Census divisions for

Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. I know they are boundary=census

rather than the usual boundary=administrative. On the OSM-boundaries

download, I have selected boundary filter=All so shouldn't those census

divisions be in the downloaded file ? what am I missing?

Does these exist in OpenStreetMap iteself? Please provide links to them there. If they don't exist in OpenStreetMap, or don't have a boundary tag, they won't exist in OSM-Boundaries.

If you have links you should be able to use their ID to search for in OSM-Boundaries as well, and hopefully find them.

I belive this is a link showing the three you are looking for: https://osm-boundaries.com/l/f7fcb527af70efd32ec270616eddb26d306817f9

I am looking for all the "counties" in those 3 provinces.    They are all missing.  Here is one to show as an example.   I see it in OSM.  Relation 7098966, Census Division No. 6      But I don't see that in the file I downloaded from OSM-Boundaries. I am trying to get all these "Census Divisions" for those three provinces but don't see any of them in the file I've downloaded.

Have you checked the settings wheel above the tree view? Notice that you can filter Boundary for All or Administrative only. Since the above is boundary=census you'll have to show all.

I SWEAR I did that yesterday!  and it didn't work.  But just tried again and noticed the credits were a much larger number than I saw yesterday.  I knew it would then get that data I was missing and it did.  Thanks again.  Glad I saw that Feedback button on the right side of the main screen.
