Fact-check: “Approximately 45% of the current Canadian population is made up of immigrants and the children of immigrants”
Verdict: Mostly True (94% confidence)
The best available census-based estimate puts immigrants and their children at about 44% of Canada's population. That is within ordinary rounding of the claim's explicitly approximate 45% figure, so the claim's central assertion is supported rather than misleading.
