Canada's population change by quarter and contributing factor, Q3 1971-Q3 2023

In recent decades, international migration has become an increasingly large share of Canada's population growth.

Note: Population changes are drawn from subtracting decreases (deaths, emigration, declines in non-permanent residents) from increases (births, immigration, growth in non-permanent residents), and are measured quarterly.
