Statistics Canada says population growth rate in 2023 was highest since 1957.

Canada's population hit a record growth rate of 3.2% in 2023, the fastest pace since 1957, as the country's largest immigration program reached its maximum speed. The population increased by 1.3 million people to 40.8 million, mainly due to temporary international migration, such as foreign workers and students. However, economists predict that new restrictions may slow down this growth rate by half or more in the future.
