Canada's Immigration Program Drives Record Population Growth

Canada has experienced a record population growth, reaching 40.8 million in the past year, marking the fastest annual pace since 1957. This surge is attributed to one of the world’s largest immigration programs, prompting pressures on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to address future inflows. Statistics Canada's estimate released in Ottawa highlights this remarkable growth, comparing it to Estonia's populace. The immigration program's impact on population dynamics has positioned Canada for closer scrutiny and potential adjustments in the future.
