List of the largest municipalities in Canada by population


The table below lists the 100 largest census subdivisions in Canada by population, using data from the 2021 Canadian census for census subdivisions.
This list includes only the population within a census subdivision's boundaries as defined at the time of the census. Many census subdivisions are part of a larger census metropolitan area or census agglomeration. For their ranking, see the list of census metropolitan areas and agglomerations in Canada.
A city is displayed in bold if it is a provincial or federal capital. An italicized city is the largest in its province. Three territories and one province do not have municipalities among the 100 most populous in Canada.
