Alberta has been an increasingly appealing location for newcomers to Canada in recent years, with official data from Canada's most recent census indicating that Alberta now competes with British Columbia for the second most popular immigration destination in the country, after Ontario. Alberta's percentage of recent immigrants climbed from 6.9 percent in 2001 to 17.1 percent in 2016.
