Canada’s Population Passing 42 Million in 2024 and 50 Million by 2031

All things been equal, this is only possible because Canada has an institutional infrastructure that has so far held up.  That machine makes no attempt to make an immigrant a loyal Canadian ,though that happens, but certainly teaches their children to be be good little canadians.  We have a century of practise.

This population expansion is staying ahead of the natural financial drag of government wages as well which just may be the sweet spot.  understand that most are leaving good prospects today in their homeland for better prospects here.

This does mean that the St Laurence and Great Lakes catchment basin will ultimately be potentially fully populated with over a billion folks on both sides of the border.  This could be the first new basin to do so and been huge, it will be good as it will ultimately tap  seventy percent of global fresh water supplies.

Now imagine cattle converting our boreal forest into productive farmland and all that fresh water producing a fish harvest every fall.

Canada’s realtime population count is about 3 weeks from reaching 41 million people. On June 16, 2023, Statistics Canada announced that Canada’s population had reached 40 million people. Canada is adding over 100,000 per month with 868,000 added over less than eight months. This will each over 880,000 by Feb 16, 2024. 15% of the mostly international migrants increasing Canada’s population go to BC, about 50% to Ontario, 20% to Alberta and 10% to Quebec. Canada will likely end 2024 with about 42 million people. This will be about 48 million at end of 2029. Canada should pass 50 million in 2030 or 2031.

Ontario will pass 16 million this year and will be over 20 million before 2030.

British Columbia, Canada population is projected to grow from 5.5 million in 2023 to 7.9 million by 2046. BC’s population will grow by up to 44%, according to the provincial government’s newly released 2024 BC Stats report. This compares to the current populations of Greater Toronto (roughly 7.0 million), New York City (8.5 million), the province of Quebec (almost 9.0 million), and Washington state (roughly 8.0 million).

By 2046, the combined Lower Mainland/Southwest region — an area that includes not only Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, but also the Sea to Sky Corridor and the Sunshine Coast — will reach a population of 4.9 million, representing an increase of 51% compared to 2023.

Metro Vancouver’s population is expected to reach and exceed three million residents in 2024, and if the projections hold another one million people will be added to the region by 2041 for a total of four million residents.

By 2029, the City of Surrey will become BC’s most populated city when it reaches 785,619 residents — squeaking past Vancouver’s 780,075 residents.
