Net Provincial Migration (Ages 20-34)
Definition:
Net Interprovincial and Intraprovincial Migration, ages 20-34
Methods and Limitations:
Net Interprovincial Migration: Interprovincial migration represents movements from one province or territory to another, involving a change in usual place of residence. A person who takes up residence in another province or territory is an out-migrant with reference to the province or territory of origin, and an in-migrant with reference to the province or territory of destination. Net interprovincial migration is the difference between the number of in-migrants and the number of out-migrants.
Net Intraprovincial Migration: Intraprovincial migration represents movements from within one province or territory to a different location within the same province or territory. Net intraprovincial migration is the difference between the number of in-intraprovincial migrants and the number of out-intraprovincial migrants.
It is important to note that interprovincial and intraprovincial migration are only two dimensions of population change. Immigration (coming from a different country), emigration (leaving to a different country), births and deaths are other aspects of population change that are not accounted for in this indicator.
This age group (20-34) was selected as they represent a young and emerging workforce in addition to including the age where families typically have their first child (Statistics Canada, 2016).
Population estimates based on the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) 2021 as delineated in the 2021 Census.
The estimates for net interprovincial migration and net intraprovincial migration are final up to 2021/2022 and preliminary for 2022/2023.
Values for the most recent year are preliminary estimates and subject to change as new data is released.

11. Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Cities are hubs for ideas, commerce, culture, science, productivity, social development and much more. At their best, cities have enabled people to advance socially and economically.
However, many challenges exist to maintaining cities in a way that continues to create jobs and prosperity while not straining land and resources. Common urban challenges include congestion, lack of funds to provide basic services, a shortage of adequate housing and declining infrastructure.
The challenges cities face can be overcome in ways that allow them to continue to thrive and grow, while improving resource use and reducing pollution and poverty. The future we want includes cities of opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more.
