Statistics Canada's latest quarterly data shows Canada's population growth decelerating sharply to just 0.2% in Q2 2024—the slowest since the pandemic—driven by federal immigration curbs amid housing shortages and public backlash. The Trudeau government's October 23 announcement slashed permanent resident targets to 395,000 for 2025 (from 500,000), capped international student permits at a 35% reduction, and aims to cut temporary residents by 20% through 2026, fueling net emigration risks from expiring visas. Year-to-date growth stands at 1.8% through July, but traders price a 64% chance of outright decline by December 31 versus January 1, reflecting policy impacts and upcoming provincial nomination cuts outpacing natural increase. Upcoming monthly estimates could shift consensus.
