I think it's likely that tech in Vancouver is having trouble hiring and retaining as millenials flee to SF, where they can get paid dramatically more, but in general Vancouver is seeing net gains in millenials.
I have no idea how Bloomberg made their chart but using census and BC stats data no one has been able to reproduce it.
This UBC sociology prof crunched BCStats numbers and found that there is net positive millenial migration into Vancouver.

This doesn't change the fact that the unaffordability situation in Vancouver is deeply problematic and is probably accelerating a brain drain to the USA.
