Canada Added 1.37 Million People in 2023

by

Canada’s realtime population is 40.73 million people and Canada will add another 30,000 people to reach 40.76 million by the end of 2023. This was almost a 3.5% population increase.

As of December 19, 2023, the US population is 334,914,895, which is a 0.5% increase from 2022. Canada is growing at seven times the US percentage population increase.

As of December 19, 2023, California’s population is 38,965,193, which is a 0.2% decrease from 2022. This is the third year in a row that California’s population has decreased. However, the 2023 decline is less than the 0.3% decrease in 2022 and the 0.9% decrease in 2021. Canada only passed California’s population in 2022. Canada now has 4.6% more people than California. IF California’s population continued its slow slide to 38.0 million people and Canada continued its population growth of the last two years then Canada will have over 130% of the population of California by 2030.

Canada’s realtime population estimate on Jan 1, 2023 was 39.387 million.

Ontario will pass 16 million people early in 2024 and Quebec will pass 9 million people. Alberta could reach 5 million people by the end of 2024 or early in 2025. BC should reach 6 million people in 2025.

IF Canada were to maintain adding 1.4 million from now until 2030, then this would look as follows.

2024 42.1 million
2025 43.5 million
2026 44.9 million
2027 46.3 million
2028 47.7 million
2029 49.1 million
2030 50.5 million

IF Canada maintained the population increase for another two decades population would become. This would be about 18% over what most projections have for Canada’s population. According to Statista, Canada’s population is projected to be 42.84 million in 2030.

Canada’s GDP would be about 3.2 trillion if Canada beat the 2.7 trillion 2030 IMF forecast by 18%.

2040 64.5 million
2050 78.5 million

Canada with solid per capital GDP would be passing Italy, Germany.

In 2020, Statistics Canada’s projected 48.8-million people by 2050. IF Canada had 78.5 million people in 2050 then this would 60% more than the 2020 projection.

78.5 million would be double the 39.3 million people in Canada in 2022.

Doubling Canada’s 2022 GDP would be an approximation of Canada’s 2050 population adjusted GDP relative to other countries like Germany, Japan, Italy, France and UK with static or shrinking populations.

Canada with continued strong immigration could become the fourth largest economy in the world by 2050. Canada would trail the USA, China and India in GDP. Canada would be very close in economic size to Germany and Japan. Japan will likely shrink to 100 million people by 2050 from 122 million today.

On Track to Over 100 Million by 2100

The Century Initiative is a Canadian charity that aims to increase Canada’s population to 100 million by 2100. The USA is on track to having population increase from 330 million today to 434 million in 2100. If Canada’s plan is followed then Canada population would go from 12% of US population to 23%.

The X-Prime Ministry Brian Mulroney and other powerful politicians endorse or are part of the Century Initiative. The increasing annual immigration target reaching 500,000 in 2025 are following the Century Initiative plan.

The Century Initiative would include increasing the population of “Mega-regions”, such as the Greater Toronto Area, from 8.8 to 33.5 million, the Greater Vancouver region, from 3.3 to 11.9 million, and the National Capital Region, from 1.4 to 4.8 million.

The Century Initiative intends to reach its population goal by reversing the falling fertility rate, investing in economic development around “mega-regions”, and through a massive increase in immigration.

Toronto a Megacity by 2030 an Tokyo Level by 2100

Canada is on track to get to a population of about 80 million in 2060-2080. Toronto gets about 29% of the immigrants. Greater Toronto will reach aver 10 million people by 2030 and 33 million when Canada has 100 million people.

Greater Toronto would have a Tokyo level population if the Century plan is followed.

  1. Meanwhile, Canada’s arable land is shrinking, because it happens to be in the only parts of the country that are warm enough anybody wants to live there. They’re on a fast path to being a food importer.

    • Seriously Brett … get on the Wagon! If we all eat less meat and more bugs, there’s plenty of land to go around. No kids, Lyft-and-Uber transport, shared e-scooters and roller skating through the bear-infested woods. Who needs land? Clearly the Chinese are leading the way with their concrete rep-housing solutions. Land, schmand. So antediluvian. (Tongue-in-Cheek, of course)

  2. Something is wrong or at least questionable about these figures.
    .5 of 334,914,895 is 1,674,574. How many of these were legal immigrants? Because in America:
    “According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, federal agents encountered roughly 2.5 million migrants at the southern border in 2023.” – https://www.npr.org/2023/12/22/1221006083/immigration-border-election-presidential
    “The latest plan maintains previously set targets of welcoming 485,000 new permanent residents in 2024 and 500,000 new permanent residents for 2025. ” – https://globalnews.ca/news/10084659/canada-immigration-target-breakdown/
    Both of these numbers add considerably more people than shown in the chart. Enough that outward emigration and deaths might not make up the difference.
    In any case, both countries are having significant problems housing, providing useful/legal employment for, schooling (when they are children), such populations. Though reports show most migrants are more law-abiding than native Americans, by the second generation, that reverses, as the children get impatient for what they see as the path to success, and turn to the shortcuts of crime.
    Actually, in large cities like NYC and Toronto, both natives and migrants are strained from the need to provide for services and resources for such a burgeoning population, plus increased prostitution and drug promotion/use. It’s not all from migrants, of course, but a significant percentage is, plus human trafficking that comes from “catch and release” policies of the Biden Administration. Something has to be done.

    • Oh, come on. Everyone knows there are jobs “just asking” for able minded applicants to show up. And derivative jobs … tax preparation, fast-food gobbling, and the ever popular curling sport cheerleading. LOL. (and don’t forget queue management, for there are a lot of them in the Canadian government medical care system.)

  3. Once again Brian encourages the societal suicide of the Canadians by death through immigrant, but when he reports on Asian countries he only mentions birthrate. Maybe South Korea should import a few million Africans to help “bolster” their population.

    • Doubting Thomas constantly uses the nword in his thoughts. His mind goes to africa even when most immigrants to canada are not african.

  4. I do not see the point of projections like those above post the year 2030, even 2027. AI will disrupt everything in the next few years. Post 2030 we may already be in post Singularity/ASI world.

    Because of that I am 99% sure that these post 2030 predictions(not to mention 2040-2100) are wrong.

    • Tell you this: you ARE right. The coming AGI or SAGI is going to be its own apocalypse for billions of people who live in the technocratic age. Predictions during-and-after? Poppycock.

    • Must’ve … because you can NOT live in tents in Canada, certainly not in the Winter, but also not without legal consequences in the Summer.

  6. Here is an idea…if Canada will take them, could we offer migrants coming in past our southern border free transport to our northern border? Let them have all those intrepid, hard working, brave people just looking for a place where they can be free to build a better life.
