The Tea is HOT 🔥
Okay, so Quebec is kinda poppin' off in different directions at the same time. On one hand, they had almost 160k immigrants rollin' in during 2024 – that's a near-record, only second to last year. The province is sitting pretty with over 9.1 million peeps as of early 2025.
But here's where it gets a lil' sus. Almost 617k of those are non-permanent residents, and like half of them are just here for the bag (temporary foreign workers). Nothing wrong with securing the bread, but it's a temporary ting, y'know?
And the real kicker? The fertility rate is straight up dying. It's at a record low of 1.33 kids per woman. Basically, people are having LESS babies than ever before, to the point where more people are dropping dead than being born. That's kinda wild, ngl.
On a slightly more positive note, if you *are* in Quebec, you're probably gonna be around for a while. Life expectancy is still chillin' at around 82.7 years. So, like, live your best life, I guess? Just maybe consider having a mini-me to keep the population vibes alive. 🤷♀️
