Early results coming in from Canada's census show a shift to urban areas and high population growth, mainly due to immigration.
"The first data from the 2006 Census puts Canada's national population at 31.6 million, a rise of 5.4 per cent since the 2001 census" -- the highest growth of any G8 country.
"And most people are living in a metropolis."
"Six metropolitan areas now claim more than a million residents. Calgary and Edmonton joined Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa-Gatineau in the 'millionaire's club', which now houses 45 per cent of the Canadians."
"Statistics Canada says 1.2 million immigrants have arrived since 2001, and if current trends continue, net immigration may become the only source of population growth by about 2030."
