Metropolitan Areas Of Canada
The table below lists the census metropolitan areas and agglomerations in Canada by population, using data from the Canada 2011 Census. Each entry is identified as a census metropolitan area (CMA) or a census agglomeration (CA) as defined by Statistics Canada. Any other census subdivision that comprises at least 10 per cent of the CMA or CA population is listed in parentheses.
Note that a city's metropolitan area in colloquial or administrative terms may be different than its CMA as defined by Statistics Canada, resulting in differing populations. Such is the case with the Greater Toronto Area and the National Capital Region where their metro populations are notably higher than their respective CMA populations.
Statistics Canada listed 147 CMAs and CAs in its 2011 census data.
