Canada Hits 40 Million Population Milestone Thanks to Immigration!

We’re thrilled to announce that Canada’s population has officially exceeded 40 million people! This remarkable achievement is largely attributed to the vital contributions of immigrants. Here’s what you need to know about this exciting trend:

Canada’s population growth rate stands at an impressive 2.7%, the highest since the post-war baby boom in 1957.

Canada’s “population clock” hit the 40 million mark just before 3 pm on Friday, June 16, reflecting our country’s dynamic and welcoming nature.

In 2022, Canada welcomed 437,180 immigrants, accounting for 96% of the population increase. We continue to embrace high immigration targets to support our labor force and maintain economic prosperity.

Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan outlines ambitious goals, aiming to welcome over 460,000 new immigrants annually by 2023 and increase to 500,000 by 2024.

Economic immigration takes the lead, followed by family class immigration and the humanitarian and refugee category, highlighting Canada’s commitment to diverse pathways for newcomers.
