Manitoba is the centre of the provinces trade, transportation, and industry.Economy in Manitoba is focused on transportation, farming and manufacturing.
Approximately 10,000 people immigrate to Manitoba every year. The province also provides free "settlement services" such as English lessons, life adjustment help, and aid with resuming the job you had before or starting a new career. To immigrate, an immigrant must first apply to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. The MPNP is an economic program which selects skilled workers who have the training, experience, and language ability to be a productive member of the provincial workforce. You can still enter without these abilities, but you must have a relative or someone who signs an affadavit stating that you are a suitable member of the Manitoba population.
