About 7% of Ontarians have moved west.
Saskatchewan and Alberta are closely linked, and Alberta has drawn many migrants from Saskatchewan, with one out of six Saskatchewan-born living there. In fact Saskatchewan has a lower rate remaining in than Newfoundland does.
About a tenth of those born in the Prairies live in BC.

This isn't the latest data, it's the 2021 census - I thought it would be better to separate out where interprovincial migration could be discussed (historically as much as the contemporary figures). The place of birth data isn't just people who moved recently, but over a lifetime. Oh well.
