Interesting. I've known several Canadians who've moved there from elsewhere in BC, and from Quebec. Vancouver's population has grown steadily over the last few decades[0]. Though perhaps it hasn't had anything like the population boom that, say, Calgary has, or the same kind of economic draw that SF has.

What are the places you've found your fellow Canadians tend to move to?

CS classmates: overwhelmingly San Francisco, with NYC and Seattle in second place.

Business graduates: Toronto, Chicago, New York

A few go to remote areas to work in mining etc.

But yeah, never heard of anyone moving to Vancouver unless they were originally from there and were moving back.
