What's the population of Canada?

According to the forecast of Statistics Canada, the population of Canada (June 2023 16) is expected to exceed 40 million.

The Federal Statistical Office uses a model to estimate the population of Canada in real time. The counting model predicts that the population of Canada will reach 40 million by 3 pm EST today.

Canada's population growth rate is currently 2.7%. Statistics Canada said that this was the highest annual growth rate since 1957, when Canada was in the middle of the postwar baby boom. Canada's population increased by a record 6.5438+0.05 million last year, of which about 96% of the increase came from immigrants.

Matti Siemiatycki, director of the Institute of Infrastructure at the University of Toronto and professor of geography and planning, said that population growth has brought opportunities and challenges to Canada.

Professor Semiadic said that Canada needs to attract new immigrants to fill the vacancies left by the retirement of baby boomers. However, population growth also brings challenges, especially the housing problem.

According to the data of the Canadian Real Estate Association, the average price of housing sales in Canada has risen for four consecutive months this year. The average selling price of houses in April was 7,654.38+0.6 million Canadian dollars.

According to Statistics Canada, the population of Canada reached 30 million in 1997. If the current trend continues, the population will reach 50 million as early as 2043.
