Canadian Province of Saskatchewan Reports High Immigration Levels

Recent census data by Statistics Canada confirms that the province of Saskatchewan has attracted its highest number of immigrants in 75 years. The new immigrants, who derive primarily from China, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Philippines, helped to offset the number of residents who departed the province for locations such as Alberta.

Saskatchewan has joined the oil boom in Canada, and is second only to Alberta in overall Canadian production. The result has been an increase in employment for skilled trades in the region.
