I moved to Edmonton from Winnipeg for a bunch of reasons but the biggest ones were affordability coupled with the fact that I'd earn more money. And I earn far more in Edmonton doing the same thing I did in Winnipeg. Costs are roughly the same overall but with more money in my pocket. I don't regret the decision but the entire country has allowed costs to spiral out of control.
The worst thing about Alberta is just the provincial politics. I was shocked that people voted for the nutcase that runs this province (Danielle Smith) but generally that doesn't affect my life so I just plug my nose and deal with it. People coming here from overseas are in the same boat they'd be in no matter where they decided to settle in this country: If they didn't have money already, they're not going to have enough to get by. You're either among the top %5 or you're a member of the growing slave class in this country.
