Population at the start of the quarter

Resident population estimate dated the first day of the quarter: 1 January, 1 April, 1 July or 1 October. Canada: Statistics Canada quarterly demographic estimates, which count permanent and non-permanent residents.

The period label is the quarter that begins on the estimate date, so 2026-Q3 is the population on 1 July 2026. Separate from population, which is annual and uses other sources and dates.
