Canadian Population Growth, Thanks To Immigration

The census for Canada in 2016 has been completed. Finally, the numbers can now be shared bit by bit until the whole picture has been put together.

According to the census and its numbers, Canada has achieved a growth in population. Since the country only does census studies every five years, the last time that the statistics were drawn was in 2011. Thus, in 2016, with the new census numbers, the reports now are able to see that the population of the country has definitely gone up.

The population of this North American country went up by five percent as compared to the numbers in 2011. As of May 10th 2016, the country has a total population amounting to 35,151,178. May 10th is actually the day that he census was taken.

What the data reveals

Among all Group of Seven (G7) nations, Canada remains to be the country that has the fastest growth when it comes to population. This is the title that the country has been able to stand by with for fifteen years already. This is really an achievement for Canada because the country needs people to occupy the huge space that the country owns. It also needs people to help with the country’s economy.

This is only a small portion of the census that was done last May 2016. However, it is essential to keep in mind that what the small bit of numbers show is that the country’s growth in population is very essential as the country continues to open its arms and welcome immigrants to the country. For Canada, immigrants are very important in the growth of their economy.

The population growth in Canada

Among all Canadian territories, it is Nunavut that actually received the highest in terms of growth of population. It came with a growth of 12.7% in five years. Following closely next to Nunavut is Alberta. Alberta has taken 11.6% of the lot. These are two of the most developed areas of Canada and it is not surprising if the population growth has grown in these places.

All other provinces in the Western portion of the country also enjoyed growth in their population which was way higher than the country’s total average in its territories.

Among all other provinces of Canada, it was only New Brunswick that actually experienced  a decrease when it comes to its population. The province’s population went down by 0.5%.

The population breakdown

According to the census, 2/3 of the growth in the country’s population was because of immigration to the country. That is how huge immigration was to the country.

The third of the growth in the country’s population was because of the natural births among Canadian residents.
