Immigration in Manitoba
Planning to immigrate to Canada? If yes, skip the overcrowded provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and head to Manitoba instead.
5 reasons why people love to immigrate to Manitoba
Manitoba is a beautiful province in Central Canada. Here are a few reasons why people wish to gain permanent residency in Manitoba:
- The multi-cultural population
Manitoba is a place of diversity, with people from all racial and cultural backgrounds calling it their home. You’ll find Manitoba to be a multi-cultural province that is a delight to raise a family in.
- The weather
Manitoba is a sunny province all-year-round. The province is windy because of the many prairies located in Manitoba. This makes it a very cool and temperate place to stay. Winters are cold, but this also means you have plenty of snow to indulge in snow sports if you like.
- Job opportunities
Manitoba is today becoming one of the fastest growing commercial provinces in Canada. There are lots of businesses opening up each year in Manitoba. In fact, companies that offer 10 of the top 20 most-demanded jobs in Canada are present here. Plus, you get a better salary, which is significantly higher than the national average.
- Cost of living
Coupled with the high salary, is the added benefit of the lower cost of living, compared to other provinces in Canada. For example, while the cost of living for a person in Vancouver is $3,497 per month, in Winnipeg, it’s as low as $2,184 per month.
- Amenities & facilities
The intense commercial activity here has attracted lots of top-notch entertainment providers, restaurants, pubs, transport providers, academic institutions and healthcare services to Manitoba. The lowered cost of living means you pay a lot less for these essential services, than in other places.
How to immigrate to Manitoba?
Another reason people really love to immigrate to Manitoba is the ease of immigration. Other places like British Columbia and Alberta have more stringent requirements because of the high application rate. But since Manitoba is still a growing province, you have more opportunities to immigrate in a hassle-free manner.
