What is it like to live in Manitoba?

If you are considering moving to Canada, consider moving to Manitoba! With a population of 1.1 million, the province has one of Canada’s strongest and diversified economies. Here is what you need to know about living in the province:

1. Affordability: The province is one of the most affordable places to live in Canada. After paying basic annual costs (taxes, housing, child care, car insurance, utilities) a family of five earning $75,000 CAD is left with $17,000 CAD annually more in Manitoba than the same family in the province of Ontario or $8,554 CAD more than the national average.
2. Health Care: Manitobans receive most health care services free of charge through a national health insurance system that guarantees universal, equal and accessible medical care.
3. Education: Kindergarten to Grade 12 public education is free and Manitoba’s four universities and three community colleges offer high-quality advanced education with some of Canada’s lowest tuition fees.
4. Assistance in finding jobs: Organizations such as Manitoba Start help newcomers prepare for employment in Winnipeg. This and several other organizations provide interview preparation, career support and job matching services.
5. Provincial Nominee Programme: The province was the first province to establish its own immigration programme, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP). According to a recent survey, 85 percent of the province’s nominees were working within 3 months, 76 percent were homeowners within five years and 95 per cent of families settled permanently in the community.

With the province’s growing economy, it is a province worth exploring if you would like to migrate to Canada.
