“empty or not for usual residents.” is a useless metric.
Student houses are considered “empty” if the the students have a family home to return to and haven’t updated their mailing address.
The usual residence of students is that of their parents, if they return to live with their parents during the year even if they live elsewhere while attending school or working at a summer job.
That’s why I clarified how you misinterpreted that sentence, and gave you a source from Stats Canada. I also worked the last census in KW, where there’s a large student population, so it was drilled into our heads students only count if they live in that house year round (and preferable changed the address on their ID).

Wrong. It states directly in the article that students and foreign workers are not included in that metric.
From Stats Canada.
Students are usual residents of Canada, they’re not usual residents of the place they stay in while studying in school.
Directly quoted from the source I posted.
