Going from an average of 275k per year to 480 is a massive increase, but really a difference of 205k per year.
That difference is divided amongst the whole country. Apparently Toronto growth went from ~60k per year (2016-2021 census) to over 200k itself? Well that would take up 140k of those 205k new immigrants. Calgary metro went from ~25k population increase in the last census to 97k? Same with Vancouver, Montreal, etc.
Its obvious that Canadian cities are growing, vibrant places. I'm fortunate enough to get to travel there a couple of times per year. But this estimate is a stretch. |
It may that there is an undercount for the US numbers but the numbers for Canada are definitely pretty accurate and may even be a bit undercounted themselves.
The floodgates are open up here and have been for a while.
Canada's population is actually growing similarly to high growth African countries like Sudan.
