Greek skilled workers invited to Manitoba

And Manitoba needs skilled workers.

The Government of Manitoba has its own immigration program that selects skilled workers and fast-tracks them to receive Canadian Permanent Resident Status.

Greeks will feel at home here. Our capital city, Winnipeg, has a vibrant and prosperous Greek community. From business life to night life, Greeks have helped forge and form our economic and cultural success.

Manitoba’s attractions are the natural beauty of the land, the friendliness of our cities and towns, our generous public health and education systems – and the economic diversity that keeps our unemployment rate among the lowest in the country.

Winnipeg, population 750,000 is a world-class city where a house or apartment is affordable, where commuting to work by car or bus takes a half-hour at most, and a drive to the beach or to a quiet, countryside retreat is just an hour or two away.

In Winnipeg, the Greek community is strong. Here you’ll find: our Hella Soccer Club; the Kefi dance ensemble and, of course, the community cornerstone of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church and the Manitoba Hellenic Cultural Centre.

To prosper in Manitoba, English is essential. So too is meeting the qualification requirements of employment.
