In 2023, Alberta saw its population surge by 202,324 residents to 4.8 million, according to Statistics Canada.

Alberta is projected to add roughly 2.3 million residents over the next 28 years, reaching 6.6 million by 2046. We'll get there by migration, with around 47 per cent coming from other parts of the world.

Beginning April 9, 2016, the new 825 area code will be assigned to Alberta homes and businesses where existing area codes aren't available.
