Alberta has maintained its position as the leading province in the country for interprovincial migration for the third consecutive year.
The province is now home to more than five million people, according to the latest numbers released by Statistics Canada.
The growth has come from interprovincial migration, new immigrants, and an increase in the number of babies born in Alberta.
StatCan population and migration data released on Sept. 24 showed that more than 47,000 people moved from other provinces to Alberta in the first six months of 2025.
Canada’s population grew by approximately 77,000 people or 0.001 percent during the same period.
Most provinces have seen a population growth this year. B.C. is the only province to see a decrease in its population, with roughly 2,400 leaving the western province in the first half of 2025….
