Some Canadians who've moved to Alberta in the past year say Calgary's 'close-knit community' was a big draw for them. yyc
Statistics Canada says Alberta experienced positive net migration of 9,857 in the second quarter of 2022 – the last time the rate was this high was in 2014."With cheaper real estate, affordable living, close to nature, a beautiful city – it's a win-win situation," said Umar Khan, a digital entrepreneur and co-creator of the social media account @Toronto2Calgary.
"If I could inspire one person to make that move and have such a drastic change in their live, that I had, then it's worth it," said Chow.Some economists say positive net interprovincial migration suggests a"small" boom for Alberta's economy. Other research indicates that Canada is headed for a small recession, as the rising key interest rate tackles record high inflation.
The multi-media campaign emphasizes Calgary and Edmonton's relatively affordable housing market compared with Vancouver and Toronto, shorter commute times, and job opportunities."I was wondering who they were calling specifically. But apparently it was me as a downtown Torontonian," Jeff Moore, a downtown Toronto resident."I would take a call for sure, but I would politely decline. I love Toronto too much.
