It depends on the qualifications/education/talent of people leaving compared to those arriving. Also, though many immigrants may have excellent credentials in their home country, they may not be recognized in Alberta.
If educated professionals are leaving Alberta for other provinces, and many immigrants that arrive are working minimum wage jobs, there is a brain drain, even though net migration is positive.
