A lot less inter-provincial migration between provinces than in the US. I think the main difference is the international immigration. We only have 3 big cities, pretty much all the immigrants go in those 3 cities. If it wasn't for that international immigration, Canada would lose population over time. The intra-provincial migration is also a factor of growth for the smaller cities. The high cost of real estate is pushing people farther and farther, thus, the metropolitan area of Montréal and Quebec City are increasing in area. Regional hub cities are growing too because of that reason, they pretty much all have a positive net intra-provincial migration. A number of regional hubs have a higher growing rate than the larger cities because of that.
