Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Immigration has been a significant factor in Canada's population growth, with over 80% of population growth in recent years attributed to net migration. While there is immigration from a variety of regions around the world, no one region dominates as the main source of immigrants. There has also been a trend towards urbanization, with the majority of immigrants settling in Canada's larger cities rather than rural areas. There is no projection or plan for immigration to increase Canada's population to 500 million by the end of the century.
