Can I claim moving expenses for a temporary relocation?

I'm an AB resident, and was offered a job in QC. The understanding was that I would pay for my own travel to and from QC, and pay my own rent while there. Do the rules about claiming moving expenses apply to me if I didn't move there permanently? ie. I kept my AB driver's license and only rented a temporary dwelling for ~4 months, but can I claim my airfare as moving expenses?

If I can claim these expenses, I assume that the Per Diems payed by my employer would have to be deducted from my claim amount?

Thanks.
