Section 2:
Interprovincial migration is movement of population from one province or territory to another by changing the place of residency. This section also includes in-migration (movement of population to the province or territory) and out-migration (movement of population out of the province or territory). Consider the provinces on the left as the origin and provinces on the top as the destination. Select the desired province on the left (origin), all the figures in that row show the migration of people out of the selected province to the other provinces (destination). For example, 4,554 people moved to Alberta (destination) from Ontario (origin).
The population that arrived in Alberta and considered this province as their new home was 18,087 (in-migrants). On the other hand, the population that moved out of Alberta and took residency in other provinces was 21,937 (out-migration). Hence, Alberta lost 3,850 people to other provinces.
