Statistics Canada's population clock tracks the"real-time changes to the size of the Canadian population and the provinces and territories." The tracker measures the changes by taking into account the rate of births, deaths, immigrants, emigrants, non-permanent residents, and inter-provincial migrants.
On March 18, Daily Hive used the clock to track the country's population at 40,961,644. Based on the rate of these changes, we thought Canada would reach the 41 million count sometime in early April.Ontario remains the most populated province, with 15,992,501 people, followed by Quebec, with a population of 9,028,071, and BC, with 5,639,715. Nunavut is currently the smallest, with a population of just 40,511, down from 40,975 on March 18.
"On January 1, 2024, Canada's population reached 40,769,890 inhabitants, which corresponds to an increase of 1,271,872 people compared with January 1, 2023," reads a Statistics Canadareleased on Wednesday, March 27."This was the highest annual population growth rate in Canada since 1957 ." On the other hand, 97.6 per cent of 2023's population increase came from international temporary and permanent immigration).
"Except for the period between 1986/1987 and 1989/1990, when rates were higher, the overall population growth rate has shown little variation in 30 years, ranging between 0.8 per cent and 1.2 per cent," Statistics Canada said in the summer of 2014.
