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.

“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said. ; P1 F2 O& T* }4 @) q4 q8 T
“The main factor driving Canadians to move between provinces is jobs and job prospects.   w' h8 Y2 w6 R/ ]8 c% ~( v

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.

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.4 m8 B4 Z9 w. k

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