I'll admit I didn't see that in the data I was looking at, but does that make a big difference? Is this not even a good thing? Alberta is drawing in international people, but those people are still staying in Canada if they leave Alberta. I fail to see how that is a bad thing overall.
I still stand by the fact that Alberta continues to draw in more people than those who want to leave regardless of origin or destination. There is no brain drain happening.
