According to the various projection scenarios, the Canadian population, estimated at 41.7 million on July 1, 2025, would continue to increase over the next decades to reach between 44.0 million (low-growth scenario) and 75.8 million (high-growth scenario) by 2075. According to the medium-growth scenario, the Canadian population would reach 57.4 million in 2075.

In all projection scenarios, Ontario and Quebec would continue to be the most populous provinces in Canada over the next 25 years.

The population in Alberta has been booming in recent years, especially in major urban centres. One metro in the province saw a 19 per cent increase in its population over the past five years, while one city just outside of Edmonton is seeing a big spike in its population as of late.
