Traders' 61% implied probability for Canada's population declining this year stems primarily from the federal government's October 2024 announcement slashing 2025 immigration targets by over 20%—permanent residents to 395,000 from 500,000—while capping temporary workers and international students amid housing shortages and infrastructure strain. Statistics Canada reported quarterly growth slowing to a record-low 0.2% in Q3, the weakest since 1957, driven by fewer non-permanent residents and rising emigration. This policy shift under Immigration Minister Marc Miller, responding to public pressure on affordability, has fueled expectations of net population contraction by year-end, outweighing earlier 2024 gains and reflecting trader consensus on decelerating inflows. Upcoming Q4 data could shift odds.
