More than half a million Canadians have immigrated to Alberta from other provinces in the past three decades, far outpacing interprovincial migration to other provinces, according to a new study from the Fraser Institute.
Based on Statistics Canada data on interprovincial migration from approximately 1995 to 2025, the study found that Alberta recorded the highest net gain of residents from other provinces and territories, at 538,824.
British Columbia ranked second with 214,883, followed by Nova Scotia with 23,299, and Prince Edward Island with 4,335.
