Migration to Alberta from other provinces jumped in the second quarter, Statistics Canada said Wednesday. 6 c8 F' n0 x% d

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.

ATB Financial economist Dan Sumner said interprovincial migration is one of the best measures of the relative economic and social health of a region.

“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said. 6 [' [: W* x9 W
“The main factor driving Canadians to move between provinces is jobs and job prospects. ( f2 L# i* S1 d4 h" F0 _

“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.”

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.

“Almost half the growth in Alberta came from natural increase, the highest proportion among the provinces,” said the federal agency. 6 V! h$ {8 T+ t/ e9 c2 W6 j

- K# J( S1 c3 PSumner 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.
