It would pretty much take open borders to get the population needed by the 1900s.
Maybe if Canada had open borders for Europeans up through the sixties they could double their white population (around 60 million total white people) and then from the 70s onward if they allowed four million foreigners to move to the country per year provided they had skills (college degree, wealth, or even something like a insanely high IQ and off the chart test scores for various minors who could be allowed into Canadian schools) and retained three out of four million of them that could do it. Improve the business climate to help the transition towards Canada as the economic center of the world and relax restrictions of new constructions to a significant degree as well.
Three million people a year on net for forty years would get them 120 million people, throw in children and Canada maybe has 240 million extra people from that. Assuming they make $65,000 per year would be 15.6 trillion dollars a year. Throw in sixty million pre 1970s law white people who make about $65,000 each as well for another 3.9 trillion, and that gets us 19.5 trillion dollar a year GDP.
Their economy would be the largest in the world. They could set themselves up to be the weaker of the two Super Powers and focus primarily on Soft Power, but still be a Super Power overall. Co Super Powers.
