HIRE NEW MANITOBANS

Your source for in-demand skills

Each year 5,000 skilled workers immigrate to our province. Together with spouses and children that adds up to more than 15,000 New Manitobans annually, driving the growth of our province, our communities, and our labour skill pool.

For Manitoba business, the new “reverse brain drain” equals opportunity.

Along with the zeal to start life anew, immigrants bring global knowledge, education, work experience and English ability.

At Manitoba Immigration we have three opportunities for you:

  • connecting you with qualified and experienced newcomers already living in Manitoba
  • attracting permanent residents (immigrants) through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program
  • helping you recruit temporary foreign workers (TFWs)
