Dark Joseph Ravine added 610,000 Instagram followers in March 2026, leading Canada’s rankings through consistent kindness-driven Reels rather than any single clearly documented viral moment. Céline Dion held second as renewed attention around her announced return to the stage helped keep her in the cultural conversation at month’s end, while fitness creators, lifestyle personalities, and a retail brand rounded out the top 10.
Here are the fastest-growing Canadian Instagram accounts from last month:

Emerging Creators Building Through Consistency
Several accounts in this month’s rankings appear to have grown through sustained posting and strong short-form engagement rather than one clearly identifiable external event. Eva Akhter, Jeff Nippard, Zachery Dereniowski, Madelaine Rascan, and Mohamed Louiss each added meaningfully to their audiences in March, reflecting the kind of consistent Reels output that Instagram often rewards.
By contrast, Céline Dion’s numbers reflect the enduring pull of an established global music career, amplified by renewed attention around her announced return to the stage. And Costco Canada’s gain is brand-infrastructure growth: a large retail organization with built-in consumer awareness converting deal-seekers into followers through consistent promotional content.
Karina loves writing about the influencer marketing space and an area she is passionate about. She considers her faith and family to be most important to her. If she isn’t spending time with her friends and family, you can almost always find her around her sweet pug, Poshna.
