Plenty of jobs and opportunity here. So to a degree it is happening, I'm just saying they could speed 'er up and help cities like Saskatoon cope. What are these people doing? Lots. There are lots of jobs out here. Mining, agriculture, business, tons of #### going on actually. Saskatchewan is now the I think one of if not the worlds largest supplier of uranium / potash, for example.
And yes, many people are moving here, but you could make it even more attractive to do so to try and level the playing field so to speak with the other large Canadian cities.

Saskatchewan is a still a net loser on interprovincial immigration because of economic prospects and quality of life reasons. If it wasn't for international immigration then it's population would be falling.

I work in agriculture and I've actually lived in Regina myself. I am back in Alberta and I am outnumbered by people from Saskatchewan in my office. It is a pretty common cycle for immigrants to stay for the minimum time required and then move on.
Maybe if everywhere else becomes too expensive then interprovincial migration starts to swing in the favour of Saskatchewan but it will be hard to pull against the overall trend of urbanization and the only way I can see it happening is if the Feds subsidize companies heavily to move headquarters into Saskatchewan.
