Is it 1m per year or 1m since COVID began? I dug up stats a few weeks ago and the best I could find was 400k or so in 2022.

It's about a million if you include non-permanent residents: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230322/dq230...

I think it's relevant to include them here because even if they're not staying permanently, they still need places to live.

AFAICT, that's double counting. IOW, a significant portion of non-permanent residents eventually become permanent residents, and get counted when they become permanent residents.
