This list includes only the population within a census subdivision's boundaries as defined at the time of the census. Many census subdivisions are part of a larger
census agglomeration. For their ranking, see the list of census metropolitan areas and agglomerations in Canada
.
A city is displayed in bold and with a "†" if it is a provincial or federal capital (Ottawa), and in italics and with a "‡" if it is the most populous city in the province. The three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut) and one province (Prince Edward Island) do not have municipalities among the 100 most populous in Canada.
