If we can submit anecdotes, one of my classmates at a VCC summer course (way back when) was from Alberta and living in a shelter here. And at one point Saskatoon's entire social safety net was
a one-way ticket to Vancouver. So there's definitely homeless coming in from out-of-province, even if we can't agree on how many.
