Not just Alberta. Vancouver and Toronto are attracting a steady stream of people who want to work in tech startups or successful tech companies that were in startup more 10 years ago or so. There is also some movement to the Northwest Territories with diamond mining and other mineral exploration. Halifax and North Vancouver are attracting welders due to the 10 years of shipbuilding contracts for the federal government. And there is that small Cisco project in Ontario.
Canada has always had a certain wave of regional development followed by a slump while another region is peaking. And there is less difference between most cities in Canada. You don't have those big language differences that you get in the USA, not to mention cultural differences. Makes it easier to uproot and move.
