From April 1 to July 1, a net total of 2,820 Canadians moved to Alberta.

Only 312 Canadians moved to Alberta in the first three months of the year and Alberta posted net losses in the two quarters before that. ' U: x( v( q! E' t+ p' B

ATB Financial economist Dan Sumner said interprovincial migration is one of the best measures of the relative economic and social health of a region. 4 m' M) ~3 A4 i3 S8 k& ^

“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said.

3 P: j) ?2 r; Q7 R, T5 {3 }8 H" V* W; E
“During the mid-decade, unsustainably strong job prospects drove migrants to Alberta from all corners of the country, although this trend reversed course quickly during the recession.” 4 t. v& y' i4 Q4 T! G4 a7 `: I

But he said a still-recovering job market in Alberta means a quick return to the pace of migration seen during the boom is unlikely.

Statistics Canada said Alberta’s population in the second quarter climbed by 18,538, or 0.5 per cent, to 3.72 million.

! B5 l0 I* @% z5 v+ m3 w0 f, w! C4 j/ R" J- U
Sumner said the province’s strong natural increase was partly due to its population having the lowest median age at 35.8, compared to the national average of 39.7. ; D" w+ h' P( U5 T% N% {0 S% \) y5 t

no. between 2009 and this year, a loss of 2,200, which means before the second quarter of this year, from 2009 to march this year, a net loss of 5020 (2,200 plus 2,820) to other provinces.

anyway, a very nice reversal, gaining half of the loss of about 2 years in one quarter.
