Canada's population estimates, first

quarter 2021
Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Thursday, June 17, 2021

Demographic estimates for Canada, the provinces and territories on April 1, 2021, are now available. These new
data allow for an analysis of population growth during the first quarter of 2021, and indicate a progressive return to
pre-pandemic trends.

Note to readers
The estimates released today are based on 2016 Census counts adjusted for census net undercoverage and incompletely enumerated
Indian reserves, to which are added the population growth estimates for the period from May 10, 2016, to the date of the estimate. They
are not to be confused with the 2021 Census population counts, which will be released on February 9, 2022.

These are preliminary data and will be revised later this year.

Some of the estimation methods typically used were adjusted to account for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (deaths and the
components of emigration). As the adjustments closely follow what was done in the second quarter of 2020 (see Technical Supplement:
Production of Demographic Estimates for the Second Quarter of 2020 in the Context of COVID-19), a technical supplement was not
produced for first quarter of 2021 data.
