Canada’s population has declined in three consecutive quarters through early 2026, driven by federal immigration policy tightening under the 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan. Permanent resident admissions are stabilized at 380,000 annually while temporary resident arrivals face sharp cuts to 385,000 in 2026, with further reductions planned thereafter. These measures aim to lower the non-permanent resident share below 5 percent of the total population by the end of 2027. Statistics Canada data show net outflows of non-permanent residents exceeding inflows of permanent residents, producing flat or negative growth in 2026 according to Parliamentary Budget Office projections. Low natural increase and lagging admissions relative to targets have reinforced the downward trajectory observed since mid-2025.
