Its possible for sure, but is it enough to make a 32k difference? That, I'm not so sure about but it may very well be the case or at the very least a strong contributing factor, especially considering censuses are determined by who responds to them, whereas population estimates more accurately reflect the people living
These 2011 estimations released were more in line with what I thought the census would have originally revealed, with Winnipeg being right at ~762k
