加拿大统计局表示，2025年加拿大人口略有增长，修正了此前显示该国历史上首次人口减少的估计。
Canada's population saw a slight bump in 2025, Statistics Canada says, revising a previous estimate that showed the population decreased for the first time in the country's history.
该统计机构上周发布的新数据显示，2025年全年人口略微增长了280,810人。
The statistics agency released new numbers last week that suggest the population grew slightly, by 280,810 people, in all of 2025.
这一新估计修正了3月发布的数据，后者显示自联邦成立以来，该国首次出现年度居民净减少。
The new estimate is a revision from data released in March that indicated the country had seen an annual net decline in residents for the first time since Confederation.
加拿大统计局发言人表示：“这些估计是初步的，统计局当时指出，即将到来的更新幅度可能比往常大，随着更完整的行政数据出台，预估的人口减少可能转为增长。”该机构在3月表示，初步估计应“谨慎对待”，因为工作和学习许可的延期可能会“导致未来出现比往常更大的更新”。
"These estimates were preliminary and Statistics Canada indicated at the time that upcoming updates could be larger than usual and that the estimated population decrease could become an increase as more complete administrative data became available," a Statistics Canada spokesperson said in an The agency said in March that the initial estimate should be treated "with caution" because work and study permit extensions could "lead to larger than usual updates" in the future.
统计局称增长依然放缓 该机构表示，修正后的估计仍显示人口增长显著放缓。
Growth still slow, StatsCan says The agency said the revised estimate still indicates a significant slowdown in population growth.
