Annual immigration statistics of Canada

For Immigration statistics by census year, see Canada immigration statistics.

Annual immigration statistics have existed in Canada prior to confederation in 1867, and continue into the contemporary era. During this period, the highest annual immigration rate to Canada occurred in 1913, when 400,900 new immigrants accounted for 5.3 percent of the total population, while the largest number of immigrants admitted to Canada in single year occurred in 2024, when 483,640 new immigrants accounted for 1.2 percent of the total population.

Following British and French colonization, what is now Canada has seen four major waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-Indigenous Peoples take place over a span of nearly two centuries. Canada is currently undergoing its fifth wave.
