From the altar, be whisked off to Canada, somewhere (7)

I believe the answer is:

alberta

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'whisked off to canada somewhere' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'from the altar be' is the wordplay.
'from' is an anagram indicator (from the letters).
'altar'+'be'='altarbe'
'altarbe' is an anagram of 'ALBERTA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alberta that I've seen before include "Province of W. Canada" , "Banff province" , "Where is Jasper" , "region of North America" , "North American province" .)
