Statistics Canada forecasts Canada's population to rise to 63 million by 2073, primarily driven by migration.
Canada's population is projected to rise to 63 million by 2073, with people aged 85 and over tripling in number, according to new forecasts by Statistics Canada. Migration is predicted to be the main driver of the population increase, while natural growth will play a "marginal role" due to an aging population and low fertility rates. The population is expected to grow from around 40 million in 2023 to a range of 47 million to 87 million over the next 50 years.
