According to the United Nations World Population Prospects 2024, the estimated population of Canada is 40,854,602, growing at an annual rate of 0.97%. That works out to a net change of approximately 1,052 people per day or 43 per hour.

The population change in Canada is driven by three components: approximately 361,103 births per year and 326,607 deaths per year, plus net migration. Together these components produce the overall growth rate of 0.97% per year.

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.
