Note(s):
With the exception of Quebec and British Columbia, preliminary estimates for July 1, 2009 are produced using the component method. The population estimates for both these provinces were created or based on the population estimates provided by their respective agencies. As a result, the sum of components does not equal the population growth for 2008-2009.
