In 2026, nearly all Canadians aged 18 to 44 are active internet users, reflecting high digital engagement within younger and middle-aged populations. Usage among seniors has also increased significantly, driven by improved access to user-friendly devices and digital literacy programs. However, the 65+ demographic still lags slightly behind younger groups, indicating room for further digital inclusion initiatives.
The widespread internet adoption across age groups supports Canada's digital economy growth, with e-commerce, telehealth, and remote work becoming integral parts of daily life. The persistent digital divide among older Canadians suggests targeted efforts are necessary to ensure equitable digital access and skills training, fostering inclusive digital participation for all age groups.
