Canada today: There are more of us and we're getting older, statistics show (This corrects a mistake in an earlier tweet)
New figures released by Statistics Canada show an increase of 531,497 people between July 1, 2018 and July 1, 2019. The growth rate — Canada adds one new person every minute — leads all G7 nations, dwarfing the 0.6 per cent increases in the United States and United Kingdom during the same period.
The new figures show Canada’s population has reached 37,589,262, the biggest year-on-year increase ever recorded. We’re getting older, too; the number of people in Canada aged 100 or more has reached a record 10,000.Some 82.2 percent of the increase can be put down to international migratory growth, which in Canada has risen more than 40 percent since the early 1990s. In total, 313,580 permanent immigrants came to Canada in 2018-2019, but this is in fact lower than 2015-2016, when 30,000 Syrian refugees boosted the figure to more than 323,000.
