Statistics Canada's March 18 preliminary estimates revealed Canada's first recorded annual population decline since Confederation, dropping 0.2% to 41,472,081 as of January 1, 2026, driven by a 171,296 plunge in non-permanent residents like international students and temporary workers. This follows federal Immigration Levels Plan cuts announced in late 2025, slashing new temporary resident targets to 385,000 for 2026 amid housing shortages and public pressure. The Parliamentary Budget Officer's February projections forecast flat growth this year, reinforcing trader consensus at 61% for "Down," though natural increase and permanent resident inflows around 380,000 could stabilize or reverse the trend before year-end, pending Q1-Q2 data releases.
