Saskatchewan's population jumped by 17,064 people in 2011 to an all-time high of 1,067,612, according to new population estimates from Statistics Canada. That's the biggest increase in one year since 1953, when the population grew by 18,000. Saskatchewan's 2011 growth rate of 1.62 per cent was the second-highest in Canada, behind only Alberta. Saskatchewan also had the second-highest rate of net interprovincial migration (people moving in minus people moving out) with net interprovincial in-migration of 1,181 in 2011. In fact, Saskatchewan and Alberta were the only two provinces with net interprovincial in-migration in 2011.
