The biggest recorded surge in the Canadian population growth took place in the third quarter (Q3) of the year 2019.

It describes a quarterly population gain of 0.6%, which is the biggest growth that Statistics Canada has witnessed since the executing of the present demographic accounting system in 1971 July.

This increase was driven principally by newcomers and non-permanent residents like temporary workers.
