Canada in 2025
In 2025, Canada had a total population of 40,126,723 people. That is 11.6% more than in 2015, when the population stood at 35,962,234.
The median age was 41.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 23.1 children under 15 and 31.3 people aged 65 or over. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
