I don't know if that is the case or not with interprovincial.

Vancouver has more foreign immigration. Places like Vancouver Island and the interior are more driven by internal migration (from the Lower Mainland or Inter provincial).

After jobs in northern BC dried up due to the downturn in the forest sector I think was a certain move of people into the Alberta oil sector. Now with that going down, I don't know how much of this people moving back "Home".
