How do you propose to stop the death tourists that like to kill people (like the Muslim terrorists currently killing thousands all over the world) from coming to Canada to kill us? Canada’s Population Declined by Over 76,000 in Third Quarter, Largest Fall Since 1971: StatCan Matthew Horwood 12/17/2025\|Updated: 12/17/2025 Canada’s population decreased by 76,068 people in the third quarter of 2025 due primarily to a drop in non-permanent residents, which was the largest drop for a single quarter since Statistics Canada began keeping comparable records in 1971. Stat Can said the 0.2 percent decline in the country’s population came as a result of the federal government’s changing immigration policies. Back in 2024, Ottawa announced it would be putting a two-year intake cap on the number of international student permit applications, while reducing the number of temporary residents from 6.5 percent of Canada’s population to 5 percent over the next three years. In the third quarter of 2025, from July 1 to Oct. 1, the number of non-permanent residents in Canada fell by 5.1 percent compared to the previous quarter. Every province except for Alberta and Nunavut saw overall population decreases. Ontario saw the largest decrease in non-permanent residents, losing 107,280 in the third quarter of 2025, followed by British Columbia with a decline of 26,242, Quebec with a decline of 15,989, and Alberta with a decrease of 10,605. This drop in non-permanent residents in the third quarter was higher than the 58,719 decline seen in the second quarter of 2025, and the decline of 55,194 seen in the first quarter. StatCan said that while falling temporary immigration was the primary reason for the drop in the total population in the third quarter of the year, permanent immigration partially offset this. A total of 102,867 new immigrants arrived in Canada in the third quarter, which was similar to quarterly increases seen since the fourth quarter of 2024. There were 2,847,737 non-permanent residents in Canada as of Oct. 1, amounting to 6.8 percent of Canada’s total population. This was down from 3,024,216 non-permanent residents on July 1, when they made up 7.3 percent of Canada’s population. The country’s total population sat at about 41,575,585 as of Oct. 1. Back in 2020, Ottawa announced plans to increase immigration rates, and it further increased those numbers in late 2022 saying it would allow Canadian businesses to fill worker shortages. Canada’s population increased from 38 million in July 2020 to an estimated 41.2 million by July 2024. In 2024, the Liberal government acknowledged that high immigration levels were putting a strain on housing and health care, and began lowering its target immigration levels. Budget 2025 stated that Canada will aim to admit 385,000 temporary residents next year and 370,000 in the following two years, marking a reduction compared to the government’s previous targets. Last year’s immigration plan said Canada would welcome more than 516,000 temporary residents in 2026. Tory immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner recently noted that Canada exceeded its immigration targets in the second quarter of 2025, bringing in 105,000 temporary foreign workers compared to a promised cap of 82,000. The Conservative Party has accused the Liberal government of having “broken” Canada’s immigration system with “radical open-borders policies.” Immigration Minister Lena Diab told the House of Commons immigration committee on Dec. 5 that the Liberal government’s plan would bring immigration “back to sustainable levels and aligns with Canada’s capacity to grow,” while at the same time welcoming in newcomers.
