Canada’s population reached 41.0 million on March 31, 2024.
Poland’s national statistics agency reports 37.7 million people. The UN numbers for Canada and Poland are off by 2-3 million for each country. The UN overestimates Poland and underestimates Canada.
It took 26 years to go from 30 to 40 million. Canada reached 40.0 million on June 16, 2023.
Canada passed 39.0 million in August, 2022.
It took 11 months for Canada to go from 39-40 million and 9.5 months to go from 40-41 million.
Canada could reach 42 million at the end of 2024 or Jan 2025. This would mean that Canada could reach 50 million by 2032. In 2023, Statistics Canada talked about a projection for Canada to reach 50 million on 2043.
Canada’s economy is muddling along. Economic growth in the fourth quarter of last year was better than expected, but looking under the hood, every component of demand in the domestic economy was weaker than we had forecast. Growth in 2024 reflects a small upgrade, but at roughly 1%.
In March 2024, the Bank of France revised its forecast for France’s 2024 economic growth to 0.8%, down from 0.9% in December. The economy is expected to grow moderately, by 0.2% per quarter. The OECD cut the forecast to 0.6% for 2024 for France.
The CAD/EUR rate is down -1.19% in 2024. This means the Canadian Dollar decreased in value compared to the Euro.

” UN overestimates Poland and underestimates Canada.”
I think that in case of Poland UN estimates are good, Poland official statistics agency for some reason doesn’t count Ukrainians. And as most of you know many millions od Ukrainians left Ukraine – more than 10M. Largest number of them landed in Poland. There are 3-5M Ukrainians in Poland. So it adds up to >40M population.
Unlike Canada, USA has a LONG history of assimilating immigrants.
New York City (NYC) is basically a machine that takes in an immigrant and outputs a citizen.
Los Angeles and Miami are like little NYCs.
Does Canada have similar cities?
Concurring with the other comments here about the negative effects of low-contributing immigrants in Canada, comes this popular developer’s blog: https://brandondonnelly.com/popular-posts/ which shows how tight the housing market is getting, and how reluctant residents are to open neighborhoods up to cheaper multi-family housing. QOL is dropping. Where will all those immigrants live? It’s about the same population and problems here, only on a larger scale.
At what cost?
Sure they are increasing their population by cranking up immigration, but when you do it too fast, you weaken your culture, the very essence of your country. It’s not worth it, Canadians are fed up, but Trudeau doesn’t care.
Another thing to consider is that while Brian keep pointing out that Canadian GDP is increasing, the Canadian GDP per capita is actually decreasing. This means that essentially the real Canadians are paying a huge personal price for each of those immigrants that are flooding the country. Add to that the massive increases in housing that has accompanied the immigration and real Canadians will soon find themselves too poor to buy a house in their own country.

And also keep in mind that GDP calculations include government spending. That means when all those wonderful new “diverse” Canadians get welfare benefits, free health care, free dental, housing allowances, etc, all of those those costs that are a huge tax burden to actual Canadians are counted as a magical GDP increase. Hooray!!
And in news totally unrelated to the huge influx of migrants, the Canadian quality of living keeps on dropping. Remember, it has nothing at all to do with mass migration. Migration, at least into white countries, is always and only an unalloyed good.

Also totally unrelated to mass immivasion, the police in Toronto are advising people to leave their car keys near the front door so that thieves can steal your vehicle without having to resort to a full on home invasion. It would be wrong to inconvenience our new citizens by making them commit burglary AND theft.

Yep. Diversity only applies to white-majority countries. White countries are also systemically racist. Yet non-white people flock to these white countries and not other countries. This means non-whites must have low(er) IQs. (Not my belief, but a natural progression of woke logic.)
And recent shouting mobs of Hindus and Sikhs threatening each other in Calgary.
1 million more people in less than a year, ridiculous. Housing prices have doubled since Trudeau got in. Will be good when he’s out, sooner the better. Worst prime minister ever, he’s an incompetent woke moron.
