Job seekers are flooding back to Alberta after a two-year lull, lured by a resurgence in the oil patch and growing hiring demands.
Alberta saw a net inflow of 5,300 people from other provinces in the first quarter of 2011 -- its highest rate of interprovincial migration since the first quarter of 2006, according to Statistics Canada preliminary population data reported Wednesday.
The province saw steady inflows of workers from other parts of Canada between 1995 and 2009, but saw outflows in 2010 for the first time in 15 years.
That slowdown appears to have now reversed, with Alberta registering the fastest first-quarter population increase in Canada in the first quarter this year. The province’s population was estimated at 3,758,200 as of April 1, Statscan reported, up 15,500 people or 0.4 per cent since Jan. 1.
Alberta’s gain appears to have come from Atlantic Canada and other Prairie provinces. Newfoundland recorded a net outflow of 500 people and Nova Scotia lost 1,000 to interprovincial migration in the first quarter.
Manitoba lost 1,000 to other provinces, while Saskatchewan lost 600 people. It was the booming Prairie province’s first quarterly net outflow of people to other provinces since the third quarter of 2006.
das bedeutet aber noch nicht, dass da bereits wieder neue immigranten gesucht werden - in den massen, wie vor platzen des booms.

There are still lots of barriers to labour mobility in Canada.
A prime example is in the welding field. Skilled welders in Ontario cannot work in Alberta without an inter-provincial "Red-Seal" trade qualification (apprenticeship). Unfortunately these welders are as rare as hen's teeth because very few Ontario employers sponsor welders in apprenticeships. In Ontario it is optional; in Alberta it is not as they correctly feel that welders who join structures or pressure vessels and piping should be trained in an apprenticeship for public safety reasons.
The bottom line is that for a skilled pressure welder it is still easeier to work in Alberta if you are from Shanghai than Sarnia.

First, on behalf of the rest of Canada I would like to thank Alberta for their industry and equalization payments (especially Quebec which gets 13 billion per year).
Second, countries like Switzerland and Japan have incredibly low immigration numbers and tough immigration laws. Yet their economies thrive for the most part. Why are we basing our economy on the American model where mass numbers of immigrants are allowed into the country in order to drive down wages for corporations? This makes no sense, and is of no benefit for 80% of Canadians.

Bullshit! Die Schweiz hat eine der höchsten Einwanderungsraten der Welt! Fast 30 Prozent aller Menschen in der Schweiz sind Immigranten!!! und Japan, das sagen selbst Japanische Experten wird in den nächsten 10 bis 20 Jahren sehr sehr große Probleme, sowohl wirtschaftlich als auch gesellschaftlich haben , eben weil kaum Einwanderer ins Land kommen! Und auch in den USA gibt es, wenn man mal die illegale Einwanderung weglässt, KEINE massen Immigration!! Die haben wie in Kanada, Japan und Schweiz sehr strenge Regeln!!
Achja und WO bitte thrived die Wirtschaft von Japan den?? Die ist schon seit Jahren am Boden und wird es auch noch sehr lange bleiben und Fukushima gab ihr den Rest!! Sehr traurig! Der User wo den comment geschrieben hat, hat nicht die geringste Ahnung, warum musstest du grade diesen aussuchen???
