In 2021, there were 10,064 Medical Assistance in Death provisions (MAID) reported in Canada.

Of those, 219 were individuals whose natural deaths were not reasonably foreseeable (non-RFND).

What will be the total number of non-RFND MAID deaths in Canada for 2023?

Note that Canada is expanding MAID eligibility. Via CTV News:

>MAiD became a legal medical procedure in 2016. It was first offered to those with terminal illnesses such as cancer.

In 2021, the law was amended to include non-terminal physical conditions such as chronic pain. Mental illness was initially excluded to give the government more time to come up with safeguards, which an expert panel of psychiatrists recommended in May of 2022.

Just like for physical illnesses, Canadians with mental disorders will need to show "grievous and irremediable" illness, suggesting their mental condition was incurable, with an advanced state of decline and intolerable suffering.

Two assessors need to confirm the request. And the patient must be found to be competent to make the decision, with a minimum 90-day assessment period before death is provided.

For the current definition of "Natural Death is Not Reasonably Foreseeable", see this section. If there is a change in classification, I'll do my best to use the most-closely-related figure.

Whenever I'm aware of the data being available, I will resolve the responses based on the officially-reported number of "not reasonably foreseeable" MAID deaths in Canada for the year 2023. For example, the 2021 number would have resolved as 219.
