Unless the present trends of the birth rate change substantially in the future, Canada has to rely on immigration for its population growth.

Immigration To Increase Canada's Population

As per Statistics Canada, the population of Canada will increase in the coming years mostly due to immigration. This method is expected to remain significant in the future, although the levels may vary.

If immigration solely were to fill the job vacancies and increase the population, it will increase the average age of the Canadian population from 41.7 years in 2021 to 45.1 in 2068.

In a report by Population Projections for Canada, Provinces, and Territories - 2021 to 2068, the federal body acknowledges the average age of immigrants in Canada would still have a shortage of young people in the workforce.

Canada aims to increase the immigration levels to address this issue through increased Canada immigration levels by implementing policies for the people who migrate to Canada more convenient.
