I guess the comparison is inevitable:
----------------------- 2021 --------- 2011 --------- 2001 ---------- 1991 --------- Growth %
CANADA ------------- 36,991,981 ---- 33,476,688 ---- 30,007,094 ---- 27,296,859 --- 10.5% --- 11.6% ---- 9.9%
----------------------- 2020 --------- 2010 --------- 2000 ---------- 1990 --------- Growth %
UNITED STATES ----- 331,449,281 --- 308,745,538 --- 281,421,906 --- 248,709,873 ---- 7.3% ---- 9.7% --- 13.2%
Canada's policy of mass immigration is working very well and their growth is considerably bigger than the US despite having a much lower fertility rate.
Immigration answers for over 80% of Canadian growth (about 300k-350k admissions/year) whereas the US is now below 1 million.

------------------------ 2021 ----------- 2011 ----------- 2001 ------------ 1991 --------- Growth %
AUSTRALIA --------- 25,422,788 ---- 21,507,719 ---- 18,769,249 --- 17,284,036 --- 18.2% --- 14.6% --- 8.6%
Australia following the Northern European path and it's speeding up. 18.2% is insane. Meanwhile, the US is about to become stagnant.
According to the Census, 1/3 of Australians were born overseas, of which 927k in England, 673k in India, 549k in mainland China, 530k in New Zealand and 294 in Philippines;
45.3% of Australians have no religion or didn't state it; 47.1% are Christians (20% Catholics, 9.8% Anglicans), 3.2% are Muslims;
Only 7.3% of Australians houses have no vehicles and 18.8% have 3 or more. I was curious and checked: that's as autocentric as the US: 8% of households there have no cars and 21.9% have 3 or more.
