About births in Canada

Based on data from the United Nations World Population Prospects (2024), an estimated 361,103 people are born in Canada each year. That works out to roughly 989 births per day, 41 per hour, or approximately one person every 87.33 seconds. The counter above tracks the estimated number of births that have occurred so far today.

The crude birth rate in Canada is approximately 9.0 births per 1,000 people , which is below the global average of 16.1 per 1,000. The total fertility rate stands at 1.33 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of Canada would decline over the long term without net immigration.

In addition to births, approximately 326,607 deaths occur in Canada each year, resulting in a natural increase of approximately 34,496 people per year.
