Demographic estimates for Canada, the provinces and the territories are now available for the second quarter. Revised estimates from the third quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2020 are also available.
Note to readers
The estimates released today are based on 2016 Census counts adjusted for census net undercoverage and incompletely enumerated Indian reserves, to which are added the population growth estimates for the period from May 10, 2016, to the date of the estimate.
This analysis is based on preliminary data. These data will be revised over the coming year, and it is possible that some trends described in this study will change as a result of these revisions. Therefore, this analysis should be interpreted with caution.
