I am eagerly awaiting the CMA population estimates next year to see how this is playing out across CMAs. I suspect Toronto is going to see a significant drop in population.
Good news. No wonder we're seeing declines in housing costs, albeit too small.

Kaboom!!!

This is exactly what Canada needs. Hopefully this trend continues for the next 18 months so our transit/hospitals/schools are not trying to play catchup. It's also great news for our housing sector. Finally rental vacancy rates will rise causing rents to fall to more manageable levels. It will also cause real estate prices to plunge as supply comes on line with fewer buyer hopefully bringing back housing prices that actually reflect income levels.

This is also fantastic news for our young people who have been thrown out of work/not hired due to an influx of foreigners taking their entry level jobs. Youth unemployment is at it's highest level since 2010 at 16% which is nothing short of scandalous considering the amount of TFW we were getting. Who knows, maybe in the next year you might be able to go thru the Timmy's drive-thru and not have to repeat your order 4 times until they understand it.

Ontario took a real hit and I bet nearly half of that loss will be in Kitchener where Conestoga College changed from being a once reputable institution to a diploma mill. BC also saw a significant fall and this will probably become more pronounced in the next quarter. BC has a habit of seeing it's slowest population growth from interprovincial migration at the end of the year. It seems rather odd because you would think that the province with the mildest climate would see higher rates going into the winter but the opposite is true.

NS is -1,388 while the year-over-year drop in enrollment at Cape Breton University was apparently 3,300 or so (unclear how this is spaced out over the quarters). It is not the only institution in the province that participated in the trend but it was a huge outlier in how enrollment exploded, to the point where it might have noticeably shifted provincial demographic trends for some quarters.

Like I said, I'm not sure it's a sign of a larger demographic trend. International students can at most go to 0 and they've already dropped by a huge amount. Interprovincial and presumably permanent resident immigration to NS are positive. Births vs. deaths are likely about the same as they've been for years if not a little better.

yea, I think the key thing to note here is that the population drop is mostly limited to temporary immigrants, and really primarily temporary students.

These demographics generally have very low incomes (they are in school!) and contribute little to GDP or median incomes directly. The explosion of this demographic in Canada is (I think) a big reason Canada has done so poorly on per-capita GDP and median incomes over the last 5 years. My bet is those metrics suddenly shoot up as the population returns to the mean.

I selfishly wish Winnipeg could have hit the 1 million mark before the brakes were hit....the city took a huge leap towards it and was poised to hit in the next year or two...now it will take a while longer.

Yes indeed.

huge quarterly population decline for Ontario. Only Alberta (plus Nunavut) is up for the last quarter.
This is good news. Canada admitted far too many ppl between 2022-24. Our social system and infrastructure was taxed. This will provide relief.

This is however a radical statement according to the received wisdom of a few years ago. In 2017, people would have piled on saying that immigrants always generate jobs and add to the productivity of a destination country (while the non-immigrants are generally lazier, etc.).

Of course it's obvious that it depends on the particulars. If you select and can attract good immigrants and provide opportunities to those immigrants they will do well and the economy will grow. If the selection is bad or there's no opportunity, well, immigrants aren't magic.

I think Donald Trump may be in the process of handing Canada gifts in the form of skilled immigrants who would otherwise choose the US over Canada (for example due to H1B). Then again, he will also get mad at Canada if its tech sector grows because of the problems he created. So who knows what will happen.

It's funny comparing to the population clock for Canada.

So what is going to drive growth one to two years from now ?

^^^ Immigration but it will be normal immigration not all students or TFWs.

The reality is that Canada is still taking in about 250k in immigrants every year and this rate will only slightly decline over the next 2. The reason for this whopping decline is due to the number of students and TFW contracts not being renewed......were still getting regular immigration but far more people are being forced out of the country. This trend will continue for about another 18 months to 2 years when all the student/TFW contracts expire. I work with a TFW and he just thought he could work and then get landed and now he is coming to the realization that he will be returning to India by the end of summer.

After all these people have left, Canada will still be growing but at a lower rate than pre-COVID and the people we will be getting will be more highly skilled and won't be bringing in their relatives to get free healthcare because that stream has also stopped. I expect a huge decline in refugee claimants as well.

Really curious as to how the stats of apartment units u/c compares to other NA metros as I suspect this is a departure that will further move our cities away from US counterparts towards UK/EU ones.

Shows how GDP per capita can be misleading. Oshawa having a GDP per capita of $36,000 is very off compared to the lifestyles there as much of the incomes in the area is generated in the Toronto CMA and therefor attributed to that CMA. Oshawa's median household income of $102,000 is actually higher than Toronto's ($97,000). It's just all generated in jobs located outside of the CMA.

Cape Breton University must be reeling, as they tripled their international intake in as many years.

The weaker institutions are going to be in serious trouble over the next few years.

Does anyone actually believe that Regina folk are wealthier than almost all other Canadians?

my income is quite high, but then I support 3 people, so on a per capita basis...

Ontarians are poorer than Mississippians on a per capita basis.

"Musk walks into a bar - everyone in the bar is instantly a billionaire."
"my boss eats meat, and i eat cabbage. together we eat meat with cabbage"
"in Brazil, there is a famous politician (Ciro Gomes) who says GDP per capita is like putting someone's head in an oven, their feet in a fridge, and saying that their body temperature is normal."
"Easy trick to increase your GDP: make sure that your necessities, like medicine and drugs, are very expensive. Being very inefficient in your spending is also a good way to increase it."
" Me and my neighbour wash our car every day after work. If instead, I pay him $100 to wash mine and he pays me $100 to wash his, absolutely nothing of any value was created and nobody's life got better, but GDP went way up."
"1 billionaire with 99 homeless vs 100 middle-class people."
"At the height of the British Empire, vast wealth was accumulated. At the same time the vast majority of the population lived in utter poverty."
"If you leave the lights on for a day, it's not good for you because you have to pay, but it's GREAT for GDP."

My favourite: "As the old joke goes: Two economists are out on a stroll when they come across a pile of cow manure. One says to the other "I'll give you 100 dollars if you eat this pile". After some thinking the other eats it. They go on with their stroll, and come across another pile. Now the second one says, "Now I'll give you 100 dollars if you eat this pile." The first one of course eats it. After that the second economist think out loud "We both ate shit, but none of us have any more money than before." The first one replies "Yeah, but we made 200 dollars of GDP!"

Everyone repeat 10 times: mean ≠ median

Dave Dingwall never spotted a grift he did not enthusiastically embrace.

"I'm entitled to my entitlements" - the most honest statement in the history of Canadian politics (and also the most disingenuous).
