Immigration drives Canada's record population growth in 2022.

Canada experienced record population growth in 2022, with immigration accounting for 95.9% of the 1.05 million new residents. The country's population reached 39,566,248 million on January 1, with a 2.7% growth rate ranking in the top 20 globally. The Canadian government aims to bring in 1.5 million immigrants by 2025 to ease labor shortages in key sectors of the economy. However, the rise in immigration could pose challenges related to housing, infrastructure, transportation, and service delivery.
