I can't find the article now so someone might want to fact check me, but I believe the figure is that 98% of Canada's population increase in 2023 was from immigration.

AFAICT, "adding a million people" is double counting by adding the number of people who arrive and the number of people who obtain residency.

I don't think it's double counting unless StatsCan's population estimates are way off. For example, look at the delta between Q4 2022 and Q4 2023:
