Statistics Canada says the annual inflation rate slowed to 1.1% in August.
That compared with an increase of 1.3% in July for the consumer price index.
The Bank of Canada's core inflation index rose 1.3% for August compared with 1.4% in July. The results were in line with the expectations of economists.
The main contributor to inflation for the month was rising shelter and transportation costs. Canadians paid more for rent and natural gas, offset by lower mortgage interest costs.
Meanwhile, the price of gasoline was also higher as well as the cost of vehicles.
