flag Canada's population grew by just 47,098 people in the second quarter of 2025, marking the slowest non-pandemic increase since records began in 1946, with growth driven mainly by international migration. flag The country's population reached an estimated 41.65 million, with natural increase declining due to lower birth rates and stable deaths. flag Over the past year, population rose by 0.9%, but recent federal restrictions on non-permanent residents have slowed migration's contribution. flag Demographic challenges, including aging populations and low fertility, persist, raising concerns about long-term economic and social impacts. flag Despite sluggish growth, household consumption helped stabilize the economy, which contracted at a 1.6% annualized rate in the quarter.
