Updated November 30, 2007

The clock is using the annual growth rate (1.000%) measured for the year ending on June 30th, 2007. By applying this rate to the estimated Canadian population as of July 1st, 2007, Canada's population is growing by one unit every minute and 36 seconds.

This growth is broken down into:

  • One birth every one minute and 29 seconds
  • One death every two minutes and 14 seconds
  • A net migration gain of one person every 2 minutes and 29 seconds

At this rate, the population of Canada will reach 33,305,836 by July 1st, 2008.

The clock depends on the time set on your own computer. By resetting your computer's time and date, you can see estimates of Canada's population at various times.
