Canada’s population hits 41M months after breaking 40M threshold
Nine months after reaching a population of 40 million, Canada has cracked a new threshold.
As of Wednesday morning, it’s estimated 41 million people now call the country home, according to Statistics Canada’s live population tracker.
The speed at which Canada’s population is growing was also reflected in new data released Wednesday by the federal agency: between Jan. 1 2023 and Jan. 1 2024, Canada added 1,271,872 inhabitants, a 3.2 per cent growth rate — the highest since 1957. |
Ah, that's a population increase - birth rates, permanent immigration, temporary immigration (student visas, temporary work programs, etc.). Its disingenuous to blame that all on immigration and most of those people would be not in homeownership market (rental for sure).
