Canada’s Economy Stalls in July 2026 After Three Months of Growth

Statistics Canada later clarified that the initial figures were provisional and were based on incomplete data related to work and study permit extensions. After a second review and the inclusion of updated administrative data, the revised figures now show population growth in 2025. However, Canada’s population growth has s
