===Canada=== {{main|Interprovincial migration in Canada}} [[File:Last_best_west.jpg|thumb|Pamphlet advertising for immigration to [[Western Canada]], {{circa|1910}}]] In Canada, [[Interprovincial migration in Canada|internal migration]] has occurred for a number of different factors over the course of Canadian history. An example is the migration of workers from [[Atlantic Canada]] (particularly [[Newfoundland and Labrador]]) to [[Alberta]], driven in part by the [[Collapse of the Atlantic northwest cod fishery|cod collapse]] in the early 1990s and the 1992 moratorium on cod fishing. Fishing had previously been a major driver of the economies of the Atlantic provinces, and this loss of work proved catastrophic for many families. As a result, beginning in the early 1990s and into the late 2000s, thousands of people from the Atlantic provinces were driven out-of-province to find work elsewhere in the country, especially in the Alberta [[oil sands]] during the oil boom of the mid-2000s.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lionais |first1=Doug |last2=Murray |first2=Christinas |last3=Donatelli |first3=Chloe |title=Dependence on Interprovincial Migrant Labour in Atlantic Canadian Communities: The Role of the Alberta Economy |journal=Societies |date=19 January 2020 |volume=10 |issue=1 |page=11 |doi=10.3390/soc10010011 |doi-access=free}}</ref> This systemic [[Migrant worker|export of labour]]<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ferguson |first1=Nelson |title=From Coal Pits to Tar Sands: Labour Migration Between an Atlantic Canadian Region and the Athabasca Oil Sands |journal=Just Labour |date=January 1, 2011 |volume=17 & 18 |issue=Special Section |doi=10.25071/1705-1436.35 |url= https://justlabour.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/justlabour/article/view/35 |access-date=4 December 2022|doi-access=free}}</ref> is explored by author [[Kate Beaton]] in her 2022 graphic memoir ''[[Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands|Ducks]]'', which details her experience working in the [[Athabasca oil sands]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Smart |first=James |title=''Ducks'' by Kate Beaton review β Powerful big oil memoir |url= https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/oct/06/ducks-by-kate-beaton-review-powerful-big-oil-memoir |access-date=4 December 2022 |agency=The Guardian |date=6 October 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Rogers |first=Shelagh |title=Kate Beaton's affecting ''Ducks'' dives into the lonely life of labour in Alberta's oil sands |url= https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thenextchapter/kate-beaton-s-affecting-ducks-dives-into-the-lonely-life-of-labour-in-alberta-s-oil-sands-1.6669384 |access-date=4 December 2022 |agency=CBC |date=2 December 2022}}</ref>
