Canada’s current population is about 38 million (2021). Meanwhile, the country’s population density is only 4 per square kilometers (11 people per square miles). The preponderance of Canada’s population is concentrated in the areas nearby to the Canada–U.S. boundary.
Canada is split into 10 provinces and 3 territories. The 4 largest Canadean provinces by area (Ontario – 15 mln, Quebec – 9 mln, British Columbia – 5.1 mln, and Alberta – 4.1 mln) are the most populous. These provinces estimate 86 percent of the country’s population. Quebec City–Windsor Corridor has population densities higher than some European countries.
The territories (the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon) estimate for over a 1/3 of Canada’s area but are home to just 0.3 percent of its population.
