Being a new world country, Canada has been predisposed to be a very open society with regards to immigration, which has been the most important factor in its historical population growth. Canadians comprise about 0.5% of the world's total population. An estimate in 2014 had the population at 35,344,962.
Most expats in Canada work in one of the big cities or metropolitan areas. In fact, 82% of the population has settled in urban centers, while the rest of the country is less densely populated. Only 35.8 million people are currently living in Canada with its nearly 10 million km2. Approximately 90% of them live in the south, within 160 km of the US border.
