We'll have to see where the extra 8K or so is located in NB once the CMA and subdivision numbers are released.
NB's net migration is essentially at zero as well, and was actually +434 for 2016-2017 (meaning more people moved to NB than moved away).
Here's an interesting number:
Estimate of interprovincial migrants by province or territory of origin and destination, annual
Province of Origin Ontario, Province of Destination New Brunswick (July 1st, for previous year):
2014: 2,799
2015: 2,734
2016: 2,718
2017: 3,094
2018: 3,527
The number of people moving from BC to NB has also doubled in the last five years, from 440 in 2014 to 896 in 2018. The number of NBers going the other way has been flat around 600-700 during that time.
What these migration numbers mean are that NB is back to 2008 levels of in-migrants with a slightly lower level of out-migrants. If NB is a migrant-neutral province
and it's getting 4K immigrants a year then that's your population growth, more or less.
