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.
StatCan 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.

Then why are there so many of them?

 

[Chobes]

I'm assuming a lot of immigrants are here for our milk and honey but after over a decade of liberal rule, the jars are getting empty.

Economic migration

Or a chance to work at your local Tim Hortons

 

[Chobes]

Tim's is a stepping stone to getting PR. That's why they sell those jobs for so much.

Does that number include MAID patrons?

 

[ovarieasy]

Maybe stop counting 'non-permanent residents' as part of our population. May as well add every tourist to the count.

10 million more to go.

There should be no such thing as a permanent resident. If anything they should be treated as untouchables if allowed to stay. PR are not Canadians and as much as they will want to be like us they will never be like us
