About Manitoba

Manitoba is located between Ontario and Saskatchewan. More and more people from all around the world are moving to Manitoba. The strong economy offers many jobs. The province helps newcomers who want to find a good job, start a new business, and settle into a new life in Manitoba. English is the official language used here, but more than 200 other languages are spoken in different parts of the province.

The Canadian province of Manitoba is a land of natural beauty, with clean, safe and friendly cities and towns that offer a relaxed and enriching lifestyle for you and your family.

Manitoba has one of Canada’s strongest and most diversified economies, with a low of cost of living and plenty of opportunities for quality careers, for education or to start a business.

Manitoba is known for the high quality of our free public health care and school systems.

Manitoba has been welcoming immigrants for well over a century. Manitoba is a place where people of many cultures live together in harmony. There are over 200 languages spoken throughout the province.

Manitoba’s capital city of Winnipeg , with a population of about 750,000, is a world-class city with lots of employment, entertainment and education options. Here, house prices are among the lowest in Canada. Winnipeg is a top choice for immigrants to Canada (after Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver). Winnipeg is more affordable and offers a better work-life balance than other Canadian cities.

Manitoba is affordable: After paying basic annual costs (taxes, housing, child care, car insurance, utilities), a family of five earning $75,000 is left with $ 17,000 per year more in Manitoba than the same family in the province of Ontario (capital city, Toronto).
