The 5.2 per cent growth rate was double that of the previous five-year period, thanks largely to an influx of more than 64,000 immigrants). that's not including 1 birth in the province for 5 years. If you include birth's which accounts for 1/3 of growth that is another 21,000 people which means Manitoba really grew by roughly 85,000 people not 60,000.

The results are still inconclusive. More accurate results will come out later on this year or in the next couple of years.
