I've spent time looking for it to and never found precise stats. If you add up the urban ward population as listed on the City of Ottawa site from 2012, ~550,000 is the number that comes up.
I summed the size of all of the wards that are inside the greenbelt as listed on the city's website, and it comes to about 369.1sqkm.

Not sure how precise the numbers are but hopefully this helps

These datas are very helpfull, I wasn't looking for precise numbers.
