Shown here is the medium-growth (M1) scenario, which contains the following assumptions at the Canada level: the total fertility rate reaches 1.59 children per woman in 2042/2043 and remains constant thereafter; life expectancy at birth reaches 83.7 years for males and 87.4 years for females in 2042/2043; interprovincial migration is based on linear interpolation of recently observed migration rates (average of rates observed between 2018/2019 and 2020/2021) to rates observed over a long period of time (average periods 1991/1992 to 2016/2017) reached in 2030/2031, and rates that remain constant thereafter; the immigration rate reaches 0.83% in 2042/2043 and remains constant thereafter; the annual number of non-permanent residents reaches 1,795,800 in 2043 and remains constant thereafter; the net emigration rate reaches 0.15% in 2042/2043 and remains constant thereafter.
