Tens of thousands of Canadians were “Alberta bound” as they searched for a more affordable place to live amongst higher interest rates and home prices.

      Thank you. Not surprising to see Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia ahead considering BCPNP, OINP and similar programs. Also, when discussing housing & COL attractiveness it would be interesting to consider net migration because a province might attract a lot of new residents but also lose a lot of residents at the same time.

        I’d also be curious to see the inter-province migration statistics for the rest of the country
