Calgary was the top place to move in 2012, according to U-Haul.

The company has ranked the Top 25 Destination Cities in Canada, with Cowtown taking the top spot.

Calgary has stolen the title from Toronto; the city that has ranked number one for 10 years in row.

The ranking considers every city in the country, regardless of size, and is based on how many movers have rented a truck for a one-way trip.

Edmonton is number four on the list for the fourth year in a row.
