Migration to Alberta from other provinces jumped in the second quarter, Statistics Canada said Wednesday.

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

That means people from other provinces are being drawn by Alberta’s economy after months of dwindling or negative interprovin-cial migration to Alberta. * g0 L" c! c7 S7 D. e1 x8 w1 s

“During the mid-decade, unsustainably strong job prospects drove migrants to Alberta from all corners of the country, although this trend reversed course quickly during the recession.”

But he said a still-recovering job market in Alberta means a quick return to the pace of migration seen during the boom is unlikely. 2 B  ~  W& C5 E, ^% f; k1 g

no. 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.
