Just to make it interesting, I'll take 85K (I think 80K is the highest anyone has gone so far.)

It doesn’t look like we get the estimates for at least the next two weeks
(Based on StatsCan’s release schedule)

So wild looking at the quarterly provincial population estimates by StatCan. If Alberta continues its trajectory over the next ~16 months we will surpass 5 million people in the province well before the 2026 census. We’re almost certainly past 4.8 (Q4 showed 4.76)

In 2023, Calgary CMA recorded 27,410 new immigrants (permanent residents), a new record. Previous record was 24,735 in 2022. 48% of new immigrants to Alberta came to Calgary CMA.

Is that a net gain if 27.4K or incoming only?

In this Herald article (in spite of the negative headline) some pretty high estimates of last year's growth...looks like some of you predicting 70s and 80s might be right after all: Either way, if these are remotely accurate that gives us a growth rate of possibly up to 5% which is CRAZY. At this rate we will surpass Montreal as the country's #2 city (civic population only, obviously) in the not too distant future.
I think the immigration numbers are a reflection that we are now solidly the #3 most diverse city in the country, and as such we have these large communities of certain ethnic groups that in turn encourage more people from those groups to settle here. Exciting times for Calgary!

Calgary lost more than 20,000 health-care, social assistance workers in 2023, says StatCan data
The numbers are a stark contrast to Edmonton, which added more than 16,000 people to its health-care and social assistance workforce in 2023

This claims huge numbers for Edmonton. I would expect Calgary numbers to be even bigger:

Edmonton sees record breaking migration to the city, job increases in professional and technical sectors: report
Edmonton saw an "electric" migration in 2023 spurred on by the city's stable economy and affordable housing which is attracting Canadians.

Assuming this is the Conference Board Data (report costs a whopping $985 for a 15 minute read ), curious as to the breakdown for international vs interprovincial. Edmonton reported 47,100 international and 18,700 interprovincial, which is about 70/30 international vs interprovincial.

Incoming only. Technically it's people that are granted permanent resident status.

The article bungled the numbers. Edmonton’s total growth was 47k and international immigration was 24k
Calgary’s growth was 71k and 27k international.

With Calgary's insane growth it's time to start thinking about finishing the Green Line sooner than later

Are these municipal or metro numbers? Also, are the international numbers included in the 71k? Or is that additional?
Either way, that disparity between the cities seems enormous. Far bigger than usual.
