Canada's death rate has shown a steady increase over the past three decades, from 7.3 in 1990 to 8.6 in 2022. This gradual rise can be attributed to the aging population, as the country has a significant proportion of seniors. The trend was relatively stable until the 2010s, when it began to rise more noticeably, particularly in 2020 and 2021, reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Canada’s healthcare system remains advanced, and despite the higher death rates, life expectancy continues to improve.
