Impressive... I think this is one of the most balanced growth I've ever seen.

Only 24 000 for Quebec...We should have AT LEAST over 30 000.

Anyway, can't wait until 8 Millions

don't worry it's a matter of months

Another way to look at it. Of the total aggregate population growth:

Ontario accounted for 45%, Quebec 19% and BC 16%.

Together, these three provinces experienced 80% of the country's total population growth!

Another way to look at it: together, these 3 provinces already constitute 75% of the country's total population! (ie: you'd kind of expect this unless massive demographic shifts were going on)

[Vaillant]

at july 1st 2011 Québec will be over 8 000 000

[Alexcaban]

How about Montreal by next year we should hit the 4 million mark?

PEI gained 1,000 people, that's pretty impressive!

Lets call them the big three.

Yes, of course 75% of Canada's population already resides in the big three, and they have been seeing 80% of the growth. Therefore I forecast that the big three will soon have 80% of the population

In other somewhat interesting news, the Philippines has overtaken China as the main source of new citizens for BC.

Actually that's far more interesting news. I suppose this is a reflection of the Hong Kong money finally being tapped out.

I find it interesting because Winnipeg has always had a rather large, well integrated Filipino population. I wonder how it will work out for BC. Are they settling mostly in Vancouver?

Is that some good news anyway ? ... Not sure at all. I'm mostly for proportional growths... Right now it's not fair, it should be... but, c'est la vie, forget it

Indeed, except for NFLD/LAB (which I thought was finally experiencing a net in-migration). Maybe they were trying to escape Danny Williams?

Sorry for your optimism but Statscan says : According to these rates, the population of the province would increase by 79,816 during the year 2010-2011, an average increase of one unit every 6 minutes and 35 seconds. At this rate, the population of Quebec would reach 7,987,191 by July 1st, 2011.

-------------

Finally, we'll probably reach the 8 Million mark around September 2011.

Just take a look :

I'm glad Stats Can considers me to be "one unit".

Well first, Montreal will never hit 4 million unless the province get 8 Million.

Second, according to the last numbers of StatsQc, Montreal was close to 49% of the province.
And 1% of the total population is around +/- 80 000 peoples.

So finally, when the Province will around 8 100 000. Then my guess for 4 Million is at the end of 2012.

------

If my calculs are right, Montreal is around +/- 3 870 000 right now.

Is Montreal still the second largest French speaking city in the world ?
(I can't think of any that would have surpassed it)

[caltrane74]

YAWN......

Call me when Ontario hits 17 million people, as only then would we have added 10 million people in this province from the day I was born.

That will be a happy day.

technically, Abidjan and Kinshasa beat Montreal on this account (but many still consider Mtl in 2nd place on account of the vast majority speaking French)
