The Canadian Tourism Commission, known as Destination Canada today, is a Crown Corporation like Farm Credit, and it moved from Ottawa to Vancouver. It was said that this was to capitalized on the 2010 Olympics but everyone knew it was a political decision.
Imperial Oil moved its HQ from Toronto to Calgary.
Costco moved its HQ from Laval to Ottawa.
CP Rail moved to Calgary from Montreal.
CAE flight simulators moved its HQ from Toronto to Montreal.
Alliance Atlantis Vivafilm (not sure if it still exists) moved its HQ from Toronto to Montreal.
Not sure if any of these are surprises though.
