This statistic shows the ten biggest cities in Canada in 2020, by number of inhabitants. In 2020, approximately 2.73 million people lived in Toronto, making it the biggest city in Canada.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate consisting of four condensed maps that show urban populations of the people living in Canada. The two maps at the top of this plate show the night-time distribution of population, circa 1956 for Metropolitan Toronto and part of Montreal Island. These two maps actually show the distribution of persons in their permanent homes, without adjustments for such persons that may be absent from their homes at night. Persons in short term, transient residence, such as those in hotels and hospitals are not represented. Another map shows the distribution of urban population across Canada, circa 1951. The definition of urban includes all persons residing in cities, towns and villages of 1000 population or more, whether incorporated or unincorporated, as well as the population of all parts of the census metropolitan areas. A smaller scale map of Canada shows urban areas. These are areas in which urban communities of 1000 or more population are 15 or fewer miles apart.

Population in the largest city (% of urban population) in Canada was reported at 19 % in 2024, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Canada - Population in the largest city - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on August of 2025.

This table presents the 2021 population counts for census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations, and their population centres and rural areas.

Canada's largest metropolitan area is Toronto, in Ontario. In 2022. Over 6.6 million people were living in the Toronto metropolitan area. Montréal, in Quebec, followed with about 4.4 million inhabitants, while Vancouver, in Britsh Columbia, counted 2.8 million people as of 2022.

Canada's urban population now accounts for over 80 percent of it's total population. Canada's urbanization rate has increased steadily in recent years, as technological advancements have lowered the labor demand in the agriculture and energy sectors, while Canada's service industries have grown. The vast majority of Canada's population lives in the south, with over half the population found in the southeast between Quebec City and the Great Lakes region.

Contained within the 5th Edition (1978 to 1995) of the National Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the two aspects of the Canadian urban system: the interdependence (linkages) between cities, and the hinterland surrounding each city. Data for 1976 to 1981 period. An inset map shows the urban system in the Windsor to Quebec corridor.

Population in largest city in Canada was reported at 6431430 in 2024, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Canada - Population in largest city - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on August of 2025.

Vegetative cover of 30 large cities in Canada in percentage and number of hectares, by province, contiguously settled area and dissemination area, from 2019 to 2024. Annual data.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the density of the Canadian population for 1951. The first map display Western provinces, while the second map concentrates on southern Ontario and the Maritimes. Only the most populous areas are covered. Population density is illustrated by denoting the number of inhabitants per square mile. It shows a significant difference in the population distribution across Canada, mainly in urban and metropolitan areas. The cities with greater inhabitants are clusters within Capital cities, and a even larger concentration south, near the U.S. border, in particular along ocean or inland coastlines.

This table contains 3 series, with data for years 1871 - 1971 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years). This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Unit of measure (1 items: Persons ...) Geography (1 items: Canada ...) Population (3 items: Total population; Urban population; Rural population ...).

Multi-temporal Local Climate Zone maps for seven functional urban areas (Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg), and seven census years (1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016). Regions of interest are defined by each cities' functional urban area, and the LCZ maps are available per city and census year, on a 100 m spatial resolution.

The Urban Area Boundary Files portray the urban area boundaries for which census data are disseminated. They are available for download in two types: cartographic and digital. Cartographic boundary files depict the geographic areas using only the shorelines of the major land mass of Canada and its coastal islands. Digital boundary files depict the full extent of the geographic areas, including the coastal water area. The files provide a framework for mapping and spatial analysis using commercially available geographic information systems (GIS) or other mapping software.
