Canadian population growth continued to slow with almost no increase in Q1: StatCan

  • The Canadian Press published a report on June 18, 2025, showing Canada's population growth stalled in Q1 2025 with minimal increase across provinces.
  • This slowdown followed the federal government's 2024 decision to lower both temporary and permanent immigration levels, reversing earlier steady targets.
  • Ontario and British Columbia saw their steepest population declines since records began in 1951, while Alberta and some territories experienced modest growth.
  • Canada admitted 104,256 immigrants in Q1 2025, the smallest number in four years, while non-permanent residents fell by 61,111 to just over 2.95 million, a 7.1% population share.
  • The data indicate population growth depended entirely on immigration despite 5,628 more deaths than births and net emigration of 17,410, suggesting ongoing demographic challenges.
