Canadian Jehovah’s Witnesses spokesman James Dumeignil says the number of Jehovah’s Witnesses is increasing year-over-year — with 3,000 more members in 2021 than in 2020. StatCan data, however, shows a decline in Canadian membership to 137,775 from 168,370 in 1991.

The 137,775 figure for JWs in Canada is from the 2001 household survey.
The data for religion in 2021 is apparently due to be released in October this year.

Sorry, that’s the 2011 household survey, not 2001.

"Growth = God's Blessing" has been so deeply baked into the Org's ideological DNA for so long, they almost have no choice but to try and spin the numbers accordingly.
IMO, that fact in and of itself is enough reason to take any stats the WT leadership and reps give out with an Everest-size grain of salt.

Growth = God's blessing. Always 'encouraging' to see any kind of growth.
