description This article studies the lifetime interprovincial migration of the Canada‐born elderly (aged 60 and over), based on the data of the 1996 population census. The outcomes of the lifetime migration are found to be highly consistent with the human capital investment theory: there were substantial net transfers of migrants from the ‘have not’ provinces to the ‘have’ provinces, and the migrants moving in the ‘right’ direction, on average, achieved long‐term income improvements. However, the long‐term income improvements attributable to lifetime migration, both directly and indirectly via educational improvement, were in general not large enough to compensate for the disadvantages of being born in the ‘have not’ provinces and to francophone parents. The lifetime migration is also found to be highly selective by mother tongue and to have aggravated somewhat the spatial polarisation between Francophones and non‐Francophones. Cet article, basé sur les données du recensement de la population de 1996, étudie la migration interprovinciale des personnes, âgées nées au Canada (60 ans et plus) au cours de leur vie. On constate que les résultats de cette migration ponctuelle sont très en accord avec la théorie de l‘investissement humain: on a assistéà d‘importants flux migratoires des provinces ûdémuniesý aux provinces ânanties,ý et ceux qui ont émigré dans la ‘bonne’ direction ont souvent réussi à rehausser leur salaire, à long terme. Cependant, l‘amélioration des revenus a long terme imputable à la migration au cours de la vie, tant par voie directe qu‘indirecte, au moyen d‘une meilleure pédagogie, n‘était en général pas suffisante pour effacer l‘inconvénient d‘être dans une province démunie et aux parents francophones. La migration au cours de la vie se trouve aussi fortement conditionnée par la langue maternelle; elle a quelque peu accentué la polarisation spatiale entre francophones et non‐francophones.
