Canada’s people-to-maple-tree ratio is getting bigger, as its population recently became 40 million strong. How’d they get there?

Over a million foreign arrivals that Canada welcomed in 2022 accounted for 96% of its headcount growth last year, according to Statistics Canada. That puts its population growth rate at 2.7%, making it the fastest growing high-income economy in the world, per Bloomberg.
