Highlights
- Canada’s population increased by 105,300 people during the period from April 1 to June 30, 2007. By July 1, 2007, the Canadian population had reached 32,976,000.
- The annualized demographic growth rate for this period was 12.8 per 1,000, which was slightly lower than last year for the same period (13.1 per 1,000).
- There were 91,300 births in Canada during the period April-June this year. That many births had not been observed since the second quarter of 1997 (92,400). Most of last quarter’s growth took place in Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia.
- Alberta’s net interprovincial migration is declining and most Canadian jurisdictions benefited from this situation and showed interprovincial migration results last quarter that exceeded those for the same quarter in 2006.
- Mainly because of its gains in interprovincial migration, Saskatchewan’s population growth (18.6 per 1,000) was stronger than Canada’s and this province ranked second amongst the provinces, behind its neighbour, Alberta.
