I'd move for a job and career, I'm just not sure I'd ever do it to move to a place like Regina unless it was a significant step up in position/money. Especially if this is a "lifetime" time of move, because man, that's a lot of Regina. Career and money is one thing...but you actually have to live there too. Having said that, my NY-born wife moved to Calgary (which I would consider an even more drastic step down in certain ways), and she seems to be adjusting fine.
If you really want to move up fast, maybe look out for positions with a new company? I think it's always easier to move up a ladder with a new job, than it is to wait it out at the old one. I think coming into a new situation as the boss (as opposed to being promoted over people who considered themselves your peers not that long ago) is also just easier for everyone to accept.
