Immigrants, temporary foreign workers and international students are driving some of the fastest population growth among the G7 countries and the fastest growth Canada has seen since 1957, reports Statistics Canada.
“The population growth on July 1, 2023, marks the highest population growth rate recorded for a 12-month period since 1957, which was 3.3 per cent, during the Hungarian refugee crisis and at the height of the baby boom,” the demographic and statistical services agency reports.
“In absolute numbers, the increase observed last year is more than twice the increase observed in 1957, which was 555,000 people.
“If the rate of population growth seen this past year remained constant in the future, it would lead to the Canadian population doubling in 30+ years.”
