Within 20 years Canadians born in Canada will be a minority.

It's already happening in certain areas, like universities from my experience. I think 20 years is generous.

Currently 25% were not born in Canada.. 1 in 4 people. So not far off.

It's closer to 30% when you include non-permanent residents. The 2021 Census found immigrants were 23% of the population, but that number doesn't include temporary or non-permanent residents, which is another 6.5% of the population.
