Canada immigration has set a new record and it’s making Canada a great place to recommend moving to. Statistics Canada has reported that as of May 11, 2021, Canada’s population growth has been twice as fast as other G7 countries. These include Germany, France, the US, the UK, Japan, and Italy.
The best part is that even in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic was impeding population growth in the world, Canada had the fastest-growing population among G7 countries. This was even after Canada immigration had gone down due to border restrictions imposed by the country to stop the spread of the pandemic.
As of now, Canada has 37 million people in it, most of whom were added through Canada immigration. In fact, 4 out of 5 of the 1.8 million people who were added to the Canadian population were either Canada PR visa holders or temporary residents.
In Canada, immigration is still the major driving factor of population growth. This is true for most Canadian provinces and territories. British Columbia and Prince Edward Island had the highest population growth rates while Yukon had the fastest population growth. Growth in urban centers was faster than in rural areas in Canadian provinces/territories.
