Canada records first population drop since pandemic: StatCan

Canada’s population dropped by about 76,000 from July to October, according to federal estimates, in a decrease largely attributed to immigration policy.

Statistics Canada published its preliminary Q3 report Wednesday morning, which estimated Canada’s population to be 41,575,585 as of Oct. 1.

The main factor was a sharp reduction in non-permanent residents, whose numbers dropped by 176,479 – the largest drop since comparable records began, wrote the agency.
