Trader consensus on Polymarket favors a 2026 population decline at 61%, driven by Statistics Canada's March 18 preliminary estimates showing Canada's population fell 103,504 (-0.2%) to 41,472,081 on January 1, 2026—the first year-over-year quarterly drop on record since Confederation. This stems from sharp reductions in non-permanent residents, including temporary workers and students, following the federal government's November 2025 Immigration Levels Plan capping new temporary arrivals at 385,000 for 2026, down over 40% from 2025 peaks. The Parliamentary Budget Officer projected zero growth for the year on February 26, amid sustained low permanent resident targets of 380,000. Upcoming Q2 estimates in June could shift odds if inflows rebound unexpectedly.
