Alberta’s population increased by more than 100,000 in 2023, according to Statistics Canada. This growth outpaced the rest of Canada, where population growth was much slower. The province’s population now stands at over 4.4 million.
The data shows Alberta’s population growth has continued for several years. In 2022, the province added nearly 90,000 residents. This trend reflects a combination of immigration and natural increase.
Alberta has long been a destination for immigrants, particularly from Asia and the Middle East. The province’s strong economy and job market have attracted newcomers. However, the growth rate has slowed compared to previous years.
The province’s population growth has had a significant impact on its infrastructure and services. Local governments have had to expand housing, education, and healthcare. The trend highlights ongoing demographic shifts in Canada.
