Quarterly population with immigration and net non-permanent-resident inflows — the engine of Canada’s growth.

Reading the data

Canada's population growth has run on immigration and non-permanent residents (NPRs) rather than natural increase. The latest quarter shows the turn: as federal policy tightens temporary-resident volumes, net NPR flows moved negative and total population growth stalled — a live reversal of the trend that defined the prior two years.
