Canada’s immigration numbers are growing so fast that by 2041, over half of those in the country may be immigrants and their Canadian-born children, Statistics Canada predicts.

The country’s population increased by over 430,000 during the third quarter of 2023, according to StatCan. That’s the fastest pace of growth since 1957. About 313,000 of those were non-permanent residents who came to Canada to work or study.
