How Alberta fell out of love with mass immigration

According to public data, interprovincial migration into Alberta peaked in the third quarter of 2023 with 16,500 newcomers entering the province. International immigration, meanwhile, peaked at 42,000 in the same quarter, but has since dropped off into the negatives while inter-provincial movement has remained positive, albeit at a much lower rate. As of the third quarter of 2025, inter-provincial migration had dropped off to just over 5,000.
