The universe in both samples includes intra-province movers -- persons who moved between census subdivisions -- but excludes persons who moved between dwellings within the same subdivision.
The variable is similar to MIG1_5_CA, which refers to province of residence five years prior to the census.
For the country of residence of international migrants, see MIGCTRY1 (Country of residence 1 year ago).
