Canada’s population just hit the 40-million milestone
It’s official. Canada’s population has reached a new milestone of 40 million people, according to Statistics Canada, with immigration being a major factor.
The agency earlier predicted the country would hit the mark just before 3 p.m. ET on Friday, and it did so with just minutes to spare at 2:55 p.m. ET.
“This is an exciting milestone for Canada,” said chief statistician Anil Arora in a statement Thursday prior to reaching the 40-million mark.
University of Toronto professor Matti Siemiatycki joins Global’s Jaden Lee-Lincoln to discuss the milestone and beyond.
