Yes, occasionally on orca will head up a deep river. In, fact, where i live in Canada an orca swam into Hudson Bay, and 250 kms inland to Baker Lake. It had apparently lived there for some months, until the local inuit decided to kill it for food. It is rare for them to head up river though. It all depends on whether the lake has enough food to sustain them or not. This lake happened to be full of fish, as well as seals (also rare for them to stay in freshwater). I know for a fact that dolphins and belugas can stay in rivers and lakes for long periods of time.

Do orcas migerate?

Well, yes. Orcas have a thick layer of blubber (body fat) under their skin. But, when it is time to have young, orcas will have to leave their summer, cold water feeding grounds to go to warmer waters, where they live off of their blubber, and have young, because little ones have blubber layers that are too thin to survive in the Arctic or Antarctic feeding grounds.
