  1. Immigration Remains Main Driver of Population Growth in Canadian Census Metropolitan Areas

  2. A Statistics Canada report has found that international migration remains the principal source of population growth in census metropolitan areas (CMAs), particularly in Western Canada. The study covers the years 2014/2015. While immigration was the source of 60% of population growth in CMAs, its contribution was down from 2013/2014 (66%). Statistics Canada estimates indicate that the seven CMAs with the highest relative rate of population growth were all located in Western Canada. Of these, Kelowna (+3.1%) and Abbotsford-Mission (+1.4%) are located in British Columbia; Calgary and Edmonton (both +2.4%) are in Alberta; Saskatoon (+2%) and Regina (+1.9%) are in Saskatchewan; and Winnipeg (+1.4%) is in Manitoba.
