Canada has added 1.23 million in less than 11 months (over 3%) and over 2 million people in less than 23 months.
Canada was at 30.7 million people in 2000 and now surpassing 40.5 million.
Canada’s per capita nominal GDP was $24k in 2000 and the US was at $36k. Now Canada is at $55k per capita nominal in 2022 vs US at $76k.
USA has 38% more now per capita vs 50% more in 2000. Canada improved by 9%.
Germany per capita income is $48k now vs $24k in 2000.
The US population is 340 million today and it was 282.2 million in 2000.
Canada population increased 32% since 2000 vs US at 20%.
Canada could become the third largest economy in the world by the 2040s. Canada has more than doubled its population growth rate to 2.7% to 3.0% per year in the last two years. This is adding 1.0 to 1.3 million people per year. Canada is mainly adding college educated people from India, Asia and Europe. The people added are able to integrate into the economy at the level of Canada’s per capita income and many professionals can even increase the per capita income. IF Canada continues to add about 1.3 million people per year then Canada reaches 50.0 million people by 2030 and 63.0 million by 2040. This would be a 60% increase by 2040.
Canada becoming the world’s fourth biggest economy is just a matter of not having an economic and demographic disaster like the other five of the countries ahead of them in the economic size rankings.
Canada’s economy has almost tripled from US$744 billion in 2000 to US$2.1 trillion today. Japan’s economy has dropped from US$4.97 trillion in 2000 to US$4.2 trillion in 2023. Japan’s population has declined by the average age has increased from 40.7 in 2000 to 48.4 in 2023. 36 million people are over 65. People over 50 are less productive than people in their 40s and people over 50 are in general not buying newer or bigger houses. They are generating far less economic activity.

The Government of Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan for 2024-2026, Canada aims to welcome 485,000 new permanent residents in 2024, 500,000 in 2025 and plateau at 500,000 in 2026. This plan prioritizes economic growth, and supports family reunification, while responding to humanitarian crises and recognizing the rapid growth in immigration in recent years. Building on the achievement of a 4.4% target of French-speaking permanent residents outside Quebec in 2022, the Plan includes new annual and progressively increasing French-speaking permanent resident targets outside Quebec: 6% in 2024, 7% in 2025 and 8% in 2026.

How many are illegal aliens? How many of those will leave/be kicked out after Justin Castro is replaced by a MCGA prime minister, and parliament?
Blacks and muslims?? Better stay underpopulated then…
Just shameful how our leaders treat Canada. Trump with lumber tariffs,and Biden has been far ,far worse. What idiot would cancel the Keystone 2?
Now the world has more Russian oil, at a higher price,to fund the world’s terroism, that is what we get for enriching Russians, kidnapped Americans in the ME.
We also get higher GHG emissions.
Canada is feeling some growing pains mostly in housing. The government needs to help fix the housing problem. My suggestion would be for the government to help with the financing of large apartment complexes in the major cities.
Meanwhile Canada’s birthrate keeps smashing through record lows. TFR in Canada is expected to hit 1.22 this year. That’s a Japan level childless future. Basically Canada is becoming a completely parasitic country that has to suck in people from elsewhere to survive.
The problem is that people conflate the geography with its inhabitants. Importing people won’t save Canada because Canada was a creation of the Canadians. The people immigrating to Canada aren’t and never will be Canadians any more than a white person who moves to China magically becomes Chinese.
And how many can or will speak English or French? Or agree to keep their religion out of politics, legal systems, and so on? And will obey the government (which should speak and act for society in general) if they get a conflicting message from one of their religious leaders?
And selling insanely overpriced or overly expensive real estate to each other is no way to determine what real GDP is. Quite the opposite, in fact.
I wonder if the actual Canadians remember when the average person could afford to buy a house?
Texas grew 43% since 2000.
Canada’s approach seems more intentional. Texas seems to primarily be growing Hispanic population, which might often be less than 100% documented.
Sure you destroyed your society with a bunch of immigrants, but look at the GDP!!!!!!
