Immigration is almost solely responsible for the largest annual population boom Canada has seen since 1957, new estimates from Statistics Canada show.
The newly released data estimates show Canada’s population grew by more than a million people between from July 2022 to July 2023,which represents an increase of about three per cent.
The population is now estimated to be well over 40 million.
Canada also saw a massive 46 per cent increase in the number of temporary residents in Canada over the same period. Statistics Canada estimates there were 2.2 million “non-permanent” residents in Canada as of July 1, 2023.
