Canada’s Population Growth Just Stopped
📉 Canada’s Population Growth Hits Historic Low Canada’s population grew by just 20,000 people in Q1 2025 — effectively zero growth.
This marks the slowest quarterly increase in over 75 years. 🇨🇦 Provinces Hit Hardest: Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia all experienced population declines. What’s behind this sudden shift? The answer lies in new federal immigration policies, especially those aimed at temporary residents and asylum seekers.
These groups historically made up a large share of rental demand.
🏘️ What This Means for the Housing Market: Fewer temporary residents = falling rental demand Expect rising vacancies in major cities Potential for flat or even declining rents Meanwhile, demand from permanent residents (future buyers) remains relatively stable 🎯 Whether you’re a landlord, tenant, or real estate investor, these changes are too big to ignore.
Canada's housing landscape may be entering a new era — are you ready for it? 👍
