Canada’s population expected to hit 40 million today
Canada’s population is expected to surpass 40 million people today, says Statistics Canada.
The federal statistics agency’s “population clock” uses modelling to estimate Canada’s population in real time. The counter is expected to hit the 40 million mark just before 3 p.m. ET on Friday, according to a news release from Statistics Canada.
Canada’s population growth rate currently stands at 2.7 per cent. That’s the highest annual growth rate since 1957.
