January 3, 2019 – Nova Scotia's population grew by 2.8 percent between 2015 and 2018, the highest jump in the province's population in the past 25 years. As of October 2018, the province's population touched a record high of 964,693 residents.

According to Statistics Canada, Nova Scotia has added 26,373 residents since 2015, with more than 10,000 new residents added in the past year alone.

In 2017-18, the province's population grew by 1.08 percent, compared to the national average of 1.4 percent. This marks the first instance in more than two decades where province has kept pace with the national average.

Inability to boost its population and retain new arrivals were primary reasons behind the province's economic underperformance over the past 25 years.
