Recent data from Statistics Canada reveals significant growth in Canada's population, attributed largely to temporary immigration, marking its most rapid growth in over six decades. In the United States, under the Biden administration, the immigrant population has surged to comprise 15.5% of the total population, up nearly 2 percentage points since 2020. This figure surpasses the previous record of 14.8% set in 1890 and exceeds the Census Bureau's projection that the 15.5% mark would not be reached until 2040. The increase in the U.S. is highlighted as the largest one-year population increase in the country's history, fueled by immigration.
