I hear it in movies so the time. We're going upstate. I went upstate. Etc

I never hear downstate, or similar. Does it just mean going north?

Yeah! I've never heard it in BC, Canada. "I'm going upstate BC." "Prince George?! Fort Saint John!?!"

Doesn't sound right.

That might be due to the fact that Canada does not have states
