The dynamics of Canada’s population over time can be described by changes in birth, death, immigration, and emigration rates.
When the population reaches Canada’s carrying capacity, the overall population growth rate is zero, meaning that the total rate of population gains equals the total rate of population losses.
When the combined birth and immigration rates exceed the combined death and emigration rates, the population is below its carrying capacity and the population continues to grow.
On the other hand, when the combined birth and immigration rates are below the combined death and emigration rates, the population is above its carrying capacity and it starts to decline.
