Canada and Quebec experienced a sudden and unexpected explosion in their populations in 2022. At 2.4% and almost 1.8% respectively, this is the strongest one-year population growth in at least half a century.
The main source of this explosion is the extraordinarily high level of temporary immigration. However, political leaders tend to focus their attention purely on the number of permanent immigrants (for example, 500,000 in Canada in 2025, or 50,000 to 60,000 in Quebec in 2027) and “omit” temporary immigration.
This is a serious error of assessment.
