Canada’s population growth rate has reached a record high, with 1.3 million people added over the past year. The growth was driven by immigration, primarily from non-permanent residents such as foreign workers and students. However, future population growth is expected to slow down due to plans to reduce the number of temporary residents and international students. The surge in population has had both positive and negative impacts on the economy and infrastructure. It is a lesson for advanced economies relying on immigration for economic stability.
