Alberta has set a new benchmark in population growth, witnessing an unprecedented surge in residents, primarily driven by migration from both within Canada and internationally. Statistics Canada reports the province's population reached 4.8 million as of January 1, marking an extraordinary annual increase of 202,324 people—the most significant growth ever recorded. Leading the nation, Alberta experienced an unparalleled net gain of 55,107 from interprovincial migration, the highest since records began in 1972, with significant numbers relocating from Ontario and British Columbia. Additionally, the influx of non-permanent international residents was a major contributor, representing 39% of the total population growth, aligning with a broader Canadian trend of relying heavily on temporary immigration for demographic expansion.
