Metropolitan Migration 2006-2007

mmmatt · #1 Posted **Sep 30, 2008, 7:41 PM**

This data was released yesterday by Stats Canada...it shows the migration from July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007.

Table is sorted by rate of growth

(a "1" means its a new CMA for 2006)

Here is the blurb Stats Can had with the table:

Among census metropolitan areas, the highest net inflow occurred in Kelowna, which had a net inflow of 22.0 migrants for every 1,000 residents. Edmonton and Calgary were second and third, respectively.

In absolute terms, Toronto had the highest net inflow, with 74,195 more people moving into the metropolitan area than moving out. Vancouver ranked second and Montréal third. Of the 33 metropolitan areas, 29 had a net inflow from migration, while 4 experienced a net outflow.

Among census divisions, the highest net inflow relative to population size occurred in Division No. 16 in Alberta, which includes Fort McMurray. It had a net inflow of 53.5 migrants for every 1,000 population. This was almost twice the net gain of the previous year, reflecting the robust economy related to oil sands development.

here are the provincial numbers

harls · #3 Posted **Sep 30, 2008, 8:05 PM**

How many of those Alberta 'out' numbers are part of Saskatchewan's 'in' numbers.. I'm curious.

This is total people in and out including international migration?

These numbers presumably take in inter-city/provincial migration as well as international migration.

I presume that they do not take into consideration births and deaths?

to know that you would have to pay stats can for the table which contains that info.

It would cost 3$ per table (3$ for out-migration, 3$ for in, 3$ for net)

It doesn't say on the site, but I'm assuming that to be correct.

I didn't think Edmonton would be quite so high but it doesn't surprise me... the number and variety of provincial plates in our city is unreal. My condo alone has about 1/2 of the provinces/ter. covered.

$3 in, $3 out.. so that would cancel itself out and be free, right?

The Edmonton numbers don't suprise me at all.

What are all those people doing moving to Kelowna ? I suspect it's working age people moving out and retirees moving in.

Calgarian · #11 Posted **Sep 30, 2008, 8:41 PM**

wow, these lists show how much Alberta is slowing down.

The Okanagan is booming, they have a huge labour shortage. That area is one of my favorites, too bad it is planned terribly, Kelowna traffic is as bad as Calgary.

I grew up there, & I hate it now. Too busy & too many assholes.

There's a construction labor & service sector shortage but that's about it. Give the construction cycle time to complete and there'll be a lot more people looking for work.

Manitoba, Sask ant Yukon improved a lot compared to 2005-2006! Saskatchewan in particular, -4,7% to 4.7%! Not to mention the NWT who managed to slow down the loss of population from -20 to -3%, too bad they didn't make it to the positive numbers.

There are too many assholes, but having weather above 30 for pretty much every day during summer with a bunch of big lakes and fantastic golf courses is a pretty big draw still. The snowboarding in that area is pretty good in the winter too.

Yeah, It is hard to beat the weather, lakes, ski hills and golf around there.

It's so dissapointing the way the city has grown around the highway, especially all those office buildings around Kirschner & Spall. Kelowna's downtown suffered a lot because of that.

Yeah, too bad thos buildings couldn't have been closer to downtown. What Kelowna really needs is another crossing to take some of the pressure off Harvey, that road is exactly like McLeod tr here, Springfield would be a good candidate. I hope Kamloops/Salmon Arm/Shuswap area doesn't grow too much, that area is still small enough to enjoy.
