About this indicator

Frequency
Annual
Release
Published annually, referring to a specific date in the year.
What it is
Canada's population records the number of inhabitants and its evolution over time. It is a structural indicator that underpins many economic and social ratios (GDP per capita, density, per-capita rates, etc.).
How it's calculated
It is estimated by Statistics Canada from censuses and demographic statistics, updating the figure with births, deaths and net migration. A population figure is typically given for a reference date (quarterly or annual).
Market implications
Population trends shape the economy's potential growth, the labour market, consumption and spending on pensions and healthcare. In Canada, strong immigration is a key driver of population growth and domestic demand.
Limitations
It is a low-frequency figure, and intercensal estimates are subject to revision when new censuses or improved migration statistics become available.
