This is a list of all people that I could find that are 104 years of age and older in Canada
There are 11,705 centenarians in Canada as of 2023
People are highlighted in red if last birthday was not confirmed, unless they were confirmed alive shortly before. If two birthdays go without confirmation they will be moved to limbo section at the bottom. People whose name or date of birth is unknown arein the "incomplete cases" section
Ages are colour-coded as 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114
If you find any other cases or any obituaries post it here (unless they are in the top ten OLPs or OLMs then post them in that thread)
Note that there are likely many more centenarians out there than the ones listed here

I have gone through every person in Canada listed in the semi-SCs lists and they are all added here, and I have found that a few are deceased (I think this means a lot of the people on these lists worldwide are deceased). I have also found a few more who weren’t on any of the lists that I will add soon. Interestingly, Gerald McCulloch (1917-) worked for the Avro aircraft company which James Floyd had a prominent position in. I also found a 108-year-old not listed on the wiki who had a 108-year-old older sister

Obituary

There is also a 105-year-old man in Saskatchewan, Arthur Ramshaw, who has not had any articles written on home since 102 but there is confirmation of him turning 105 in this photo (the article is not available for whatever reason). He is the potential successor to Harold Chapman

Inuit elder Qapik Attagutsiak sadly passed away last week at the age of 103. She and other Inuit people helped the war effort in WW2 by collecting animal bones which were processed into weapons and ammunition and she was believed to have been the last living person to have participated in this. She was also visited by PM Trudeau in 2019

She was the daughter of the late Mr. Vézina Duchesne and the late Mrs. Eva Lapointe.

For some reason I can't edit my January report, I think because of the spoiler. When I click on edit, my post disappears entirely from the screen.
So I had just hoped that no new death reports would come out, so I wouldn't have to edit it

Two sisters in Toronto aged 108 and 101 who both live in the same nursing home together
Between them, a century has transpired with all its beginnings and endings but for now the sisters are still living, under the same roof.
Maria Rosa (aged 108) holding a picture of herself at 18
Maria with her sister, Virginia del Brocco (101)
Sometimes Maria calls out Virginia’s name from her doorway but doesn’t hear when Virginia responds, which annoys the younger sister who still has a button-down sensibility from her career as the executive assistant to various presidents of Simpsons-Sears.
Dorothy Thomas, the fourth-oldest known person in Ontario, who also lives in the same home (she turns 109 in two weeks)
Dorothy wears sensible shoes, like the nurse she once was. She starts her mornings with a large magnifying glass and a copy of her favourite Toronto newspaper. Usually, she putters around her apartment watering the plants, but some days Dorothy just wants to lie on the couch and eat chocolate. Don’t we all.

Isabella Dryden died in 17 May 2024 at 106

I was wondering whether she was still alive or had died already; as she had many articles on her around 2018 and even had a wikipedia article, it is odd that there had been nothing on her for a while. This shows that some cases can go for a few years without alive confirmation and probably gives more hope that Floyd and Spencer (who were confirmed alive more recently anyways) are still alive.
I have also created another section on the list for cases that have not been confirmed alive in 4+ years i.e. since before 2020/the pandemic (this could be 100th birthday articles from 5+ years ago with no more sources on them). At this point it is more likely that they would have died without an obituary. Nicholas Mascitelli of Ontario celebrated his 108th birthday in 2019, but there has been no information on him since then; if he was actually still alive he would be WOLM
