The official projections for population by the Government of Ontario can be found here:
https://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/economy...ojections/#s3a
They come with a low-growth, median growth and high-growth scenario.
This is their estimate for the Greater Toronto Area (which is Toronto and its immediate suburbs only, it excludes Hamilton, Niagara, Barrie and Kitchener-Guelph)
"
The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is projected to be the fastest growing region of the province, with its population increasing by 3.4 million, or 49.6 per cent, from 6.8 million in 2018 to over 10.2 million by 2046. The GTA’s share of provincial population is projected to rise from 47.8 per cent in 2018 to 51.8 per cent in 2046."
The complete area, known as the Greater Golden Horsehoe has a projection, found here in the Province's growth plans, for the year 2041.

"The GGH is a dynamic and diverse area, and one of the fastest growing regions in North America. By 2041, this area is forecast to grow to 13.5 million people and 6.3 million jobs. The magnitude and pace of this growth necessitates a plan for building healthy and balanced communities and maintaining and improving our quality of life while adapting to the demographic shift underway."
