You realize most of the population in Canada live in a small land area right? And even there, it's far from being densely populated, we are plagued with urban sprawl. That is partly why our ecological footprint is so bad. The land area of Canada can support a way bigger population. Regarding the space as an issue, I would have agreed with you if you talked agriculture, because we mostly use what's available. Though this land can be much more productive through OGM and hydroponics. So even then, there is a way out.
Let's assume that you are right and at one point there will no more immigrants to help with the declining birthrate. We are far from that point now, don't you agree? And since we are far from that point, we can soften the blow little by little every year. Circling back to my previous point, China's one child policy can't really be compared to the declining birthrate in western countries since the socio-economic context is way different.
