About this data

How to read this measureEstimates are final intercensal up to 2020, final postcensal for 2021, updated postcensal for 2022, 2023 and 2024, and preliminary postcensal for 2025. Northwest Territories and Nunavut estimates are separate from 1991; earlier figures combine them.

Data shown through 2025Table updated

These are the selections used for this answer. The full Statistics Canada table (17-10-0005-01) contains other measures and breakdowns.

Adapted from Statistics Canada, Population estimates on July 1, by age and gender, 2025-09-24. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product.

How this answer was calculatedThe headline compares the first and last observations shown. Absolute change is the last source value minus the first; relative change is (last ÷ first − 1) × 100. Intermediate observations remain visible in the chart and exact values. This is descriptive and does not identify causes.
