To be fair, from immigration, because you can get your family here the fastest in Canada, and natural birth rate, as the first nations birth rate remains high. Hidden in this number was a very small *loss* of residents to inter-provincial migration. Likely within the margin of error. But not like we are gaining anyone from other areas in Canada. At least not according to these numbers.

Immigration drives population growth in pretty much any major Canadian city. We’re fortunate that people want to make a life here.
