The border between Canada and the U.S. is the longest undefended international boundary between two countries in the world at 8,891 kms (5,525 miles), which includes the Alaskan border of 2,475 kms (1,538 miles). Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories: Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Ontario (ON) Northwest Territories (NT) Nova Scotia (NS) Manitoba (MB) Nunavut (NU) New Brunswick (NB) Saskatchewan (SK) Yukon (YT) Prince Edward Island (PEI) Alberta (AB) Québec (QC) British Columbia (BC) While the capital of Canada is Ottawa, which is located in the province of Ontario and the home town of current Cana- dian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, elected October 19, 2015, the ten provinces and three territories have their own provincial capitals: NL – St. John’s NS – Halifax NB – Fredericton PEI – Charlottetown QC – Québec City ON – Toronto MB – Winnipeg SK – Regina AB – Edmonton BC – Victoria NT – Yellowknife NU – Iqaluit YT – Whitehorse 3 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT Population Canada is the second largest country in the world by land area – almost 9 million square kilometers – with six time zones. For this reason, it has a low population density: 3.9 people per square kilometer, compared to 35.3 people per square kilometer in the United States. According to the 2016 census, 81% of the population lives in urban areas. The increase in the senior population (65+) to 16.9% was the largest since the first census (1871) after Confederation and the first time it has exceeded the num- ber of children (15 and under) at 16.6% though Canada still has a lower share of seniors than any of the G7 countries except the United States. The working age population (15-64) declined from 68.5% (2011) to 66.5% though Canada leads all G7 countries in the number of working age people thanks to consistently high immigration levels which is the good news during a time of a shrinking tax base. According to the 2016 census, approximately 66 per cent of Canada’s population of 35,151,728 – 0.5 per cent of the world’s population – live within 100 kms of the U.S.-Canada border, which for the most part follows the 49th parallel, in an area that represents only four per cent of Canada’s territory. It includes the three major urban centres: Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, which are home to 35.5 per cent of all Canadians, a combined population of 12.5 million. Toronto is the largest Canadian city (5,928,040) followed by Montreal (4,098, 927), Vancouver (2,463,431), Calgary (1,392,609), Ottawa-Gatineau (1,323,783) and Edmonton (1,321, 426). Population growth was most marked in seven census metropolitan areas including Windsor, St. Catharines-Niagara and Guelph in Ontario; Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta; Regina in Saskatchewan and Victoria in British Columbia. The greatest population growth acceleration was in Windsor at 3.1 per cent from 2011 to 2016 following a 1.3 per cent decline between 2006 and 2011. Cultural Diversity As population growth in Canada is often the result of immigration rather than an increasing birth rate, new citizens soon find that cultural diversity is encouraged. This has given rise to a multitude of ethnic communities across the country where the culture and musical traditions of the “old country” are still celebrated. According to a Statistics Canada projection, by 2031, about 28 per cent of the population will be foreign-born and the number of visible minority groups will double, the majority of which will live in Toronto and Vancouver. 4 CANADA MUSIC MARKET REPORT The most common ethnic origins to which people identified as part of the 2016 census were: Canadian (11.1M, 32.32%); English (6.3M, 18.34%); Scottish (4.8M, 13.93%); French (4.7M, 13.55%); Irish (4.6M, 13.43%); German (3.3M, 9.64%); Chinese (1.8M, 5.13%); Italian (1.6M, 4.61%); First Nations (1.5M, 4.43%); East Indian (1.4M, 3.99%); Ukrainian (1.4M, 3.95%); Dutch –Netherlands (1.1M, 3.23%); Polish (1.1M, 3.21%); Filipino (.837M, 2.43%); British, not included elsewhere (.645M, 1.87%); Russian (.622M, 1.81%); Métis (.600M, 1.74%); Portuguese (.483M, 1.40%); Welsh (.475M, 1.38%); Norwegian (.463M, 1.34%); Spanish (.396M, 1.15%); American (.377M, 1.10%); Swedish (.350M, 1.02%); Hungarian (.348M, 1.01%).
