The 2024 report indicates that there were 16,499 reported (MAiD) euthanasia deaths which was up by 6.9% from 15,427 in 2023. Since, in 2025, Ontario had a 7.3% increase and Alberta had an 11% increase in euthanasia deaths. The increase in Canadian (MAiD) euthanasia deaths was likely greater than 7% with the number of euthanasia deaths being approximately 17,700 in 2025.
According to the Sixth Annual Report, from legalization until December 31, 2024 there were 76,475 reported (MAiD) euthanasia deaths in Canada. Therefore from legalization until December 31, 2025 there were approximately 94,175 euthanasia deaths.
