Canada's Population: A Glimpse Into the Future

Current Population and Growth Rate

As of June 30, 2024, Canada has a population of 39,105,689 according to Worldometer. The country's population is growing at an impressive rate, with an annual growth rate of 1.05% in 2022. This is higher than the growth rates of the United States (0.5%) and Australia (1.6%).

Canada's Global Rank

Canada ranks 37th in the world by population, accounting for approximately 0.5% of the global population. It is home to over 40 million people, a number that is expected to continue growing in the coming years.

A Changing Demographic Landscape

The growth of Canada's population is driven by a number of factors, including immigration, natural increase (more births than deaths), and a net inflow of people from other countries. Canada's immigration policy has been a major contributor to the country's population growth, with over 400,000 new immigrants arriving in 2022 alone.
