Statistics Canada has released its projections for Canada’s population growth spanning the next 47 years. The report states that by 2068, in a medium growth scenario, Canada’s population could reach up to 57 million people, largely driven by increased immigration. During this period between 2016 and 2021, Canada experienced a boom in population growth and the population increased at a rate twice the speed of all other G7 countries. While this slowed through 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada saw a rebound in population growth in the first quarter of 2022 as it welcomed the highest number of new immigrants in a first quarter since 1990.
