Interregional migration in Québec

Between July 1, 2021 and July 1, 2022, 206,700 Quebecers changed their administrative region of residence, 11% less than in 2020‒2021, a year marked by a considerable increase in migration between regions. Fewer people left Montréal and other large centres over the past year, indicating that the effect of the pandemic on interregional migration may already have faltered.

This bulletin presents the results of interregional migratory exchanges for each of Québec’s 17 administrative regions in 2021‒2022. It also presents major trends at the regional county municipality (RCM) level.
