Metro Vancouver’s population has reached over three million, according to Statistics Canada estimates. Surrey recorded the largest year-over-year growth, contributing significantly to the region’s milestone.
Over the past decade, Surrey’s population has increased by approximately 33%, while Langley has experienced a 40% growth, said Andy Yan, director of the City Program at Simon Fraser University.
Projections based on growth rates for 2021 and 2024 suggest Surrey could surpass Vancouver’s population by 2027. Statistics Canada attributes Canada’s rapid population growth in recent years primarily to immigration.
Yan described the three-million population mark as a success for Metro Vancouver but noted challenges such as housing affordability and access to medical care remain significant concerns.
