Immigration consultants, cosplayers, and charity-focused creators led Canadian Instagram growth in December 2025, with regulated immigration consultant Leila Zare gaining 795,515 followers amid heightened interest in Canadian immigration pathways.

Here are the fastest-growing Canadian Instagram accounts from last month.
Regulated Canadian immigration consultant (RCIC) providing immigration services and guidance for Canadian and U.S. pathways.
Zare’s December growth reflects surging global interest in Canadian and U.S. immigration pathways, particularly amid regulatory uncertainty in other markets. Her content translates complex immigration processes into short, high-clarity explainers that perform well in Reels and feed-based formats. Zare’s account functions as an education-first content engine, with platform-native delivery (FAQs, myth debunking, and step-by-step guidance) driving discovery and saves rather than traditional advertising or media exposure.
Canadian cosplayer and alt model launched her account in December, gaining her entire following in the month.
Gaining her entire audience within a single month, she grew by leveraging visually distinctive cosplay content optimized for short-form discovery and niche-fandom engagement. The account demonstrates that high-aesthetic formats with a strong visual identity can scale without external promotion.
Large-scale positivity and charity-focused creator known for acts of kindness and community support.
Dereniowski continues to scale one of the largest kindness-focused creator franchises on social platforms. His content centers on surprise generosity, charitable giving, and emotionally resonant interactions, formats that reliably generate completion, resharing, and cross-platform virality. Despite the scale of his following, Dereniowski’s audience was built entirely through social video, with Instagram functioning as a distribution layer for a broader kindness-driven content system rather than as a supplement to traditional media visibility.
TikTok and Instagram creator who founded the Wheels for Havana charity, with 2.3 million TikTok followers on his main account.
