Canada's population has surpassed 35 million over the past year, a 1.2 per cent increase with growth generally higher in the western provinces, according to Statistics Canada.
The information is contained in the agency's population estimates released Thursday morning.
Canada's population is estimated at 35,158,300, an increase of 404,000 over the last year.
The 1.2 per cent increase is the same as the previous year's and similar to the annual growth in the country over the last three decades.
"Except for the period between 1986 and 1990 [when it was higher], the population growth rate has shown little variation in 30 years, ranging from 0.8 per cent to 1.2 per cent," the report said.
Growth in the last year exceeded the national level in Alberta (up 3.4 per cent), Nunavut (2.5 per cent) and Saskatchewan (1.9 per cent).
Statistics Canada said the growth in Alberta was due to record levels of international migration and people arriving from other provinces.
Meanwhile, population growth in the last year was lower in the Atlantic provinces, with Nova Scotia's population declining by half a per cent.
In the Atlantic provinces, the lower growth was due to a combination of out-migration and a low ratio of births to deaths, the agency said.
The population numbers come just a few weeks after the release of final data from the National Household Survey.
That survey revealed that the median family income in Canada is $76,000 — generally higher in the west than the east — while the median individual income is just $27,600.
The richest 10 per cent of individuals are making more than $80,400. And the very rich — the 272,600 individuals who make up the top one per cent — are all making more than $191,100.
The NHS also showed that second-generation immigrants are making far more money than the national median. And ethnic groups that are well-established in Canada, such as Japanese immigrants, are also well above the median.As for the other end of the spectrum, the bottom 10 per cent of income earners tend to live in cities, especially Montreal.
