This market will resolve to "Yes" if the decrease in the population of Canada from the 4th quarter of 2025 and the 4th quarter of 2026 is greater than that of any year on record. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market will be the quarterly population estimates release for the 4th quarter of 2026 from StatCan (https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/start). If no data for the specified quarter is released by the date the next quarter's data is scheduled to be released, this market will resolve based on the most recent data from the last available quarter. Note: data from the initial release of the referenced population estimate report is what will be used to resolve this market. Data may be revised during the following quarter or as a part of the next estimate's publication, however any revisions to population estimate report data made after the initial release of the specified report will not be considered for this market's resolution.Federal immigration policy changes under the 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan, which cap permanent resident admissions at 380,000 annually while sharply limiting new temporary resident inflows to around 385,000, have stabilized net migration after the record 0.2 percent population contraction recorded in 2025. Parliamentary Budget Officer projections indicate flat overall growth for 2026, with continued outflows among non-permanent residents offset by steady permanent inflows and low natural increase, pointing to a smaller decline than the prior year's unprecedented drop. Statistics Canada quarterly estimates through early 2026 show moderating quarterly losses tied to these caps, though revisions from permit extensions or regional economic shifts could alter final annual figures and keep 2026 from matching or exceeding historical maxima.
