Canada's population growth hit a low since 2022, mainly due to changes in migration policies.

Canada's population growth slowed to its lowest pace since early 2022, adding only 176,699 people between July and October, bringing the total to about 41.5 million. International migration remains the main driver, but the federal government has tightened rules on temporary workers and capped study permits due to concerns over housing and services. Interprovincial migration also decreased to pre-pandemic levels, with around 80,000 people moving between provinces.
