Canada did not see historic population decline last year, StatsCan says after second look

Canada’s population saw a slight bump in 2025, Statistics Canada says, revising a previous estimate that showed the population decreased for the first time in the country’s history.

The statistics agency released new numbers last week that suggest the population grew slightly, by 280,810 people, in all of 2025.

The new estimate is a revision from data released in March that indicated the country had seen an annual net decline in residents for the first time since Confederation.


280K 3rd World Migrants is just dandy by CBC standards. They should all move in to CBC HQ.
