From April 1 to July 1, a net total of 2,820 Canadians moved to Alberta.

Between 2009 and this year, Alberta lost 2,200 people to other provinces.

“Alberta just experienced its most solid quarter of interprovincial migration in a year,” Sumner said.

“Almost half the growth in Alberta came from natural increase, the highest proportion among the provinces,” said the federal agency.

$ I& P6 f% @! w9 k6 h9 |& h- qno. 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.

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