Not sure if that only applies to Alberta, but honestly, Calgary's looking pretty unattractive to move to these days because of that real estate skew from the last few years. It used to be a great mid sized city that was affordable enough to attain all the luxuries of life with reasonable expectations. Now it's still a great mid-sized city, but with big-city prices...and not a lot of the draws that make a bigger city great (richer cultural experience/atmosphere, better infrastructure, more options of retailers/restaurants). As someone who is considering moving back to Canada, that Alberta Advantage really doesn't seem to be there anymore.
