In Manitoba's high-powered economy, skilled workers are in demand. That's why Manitoba was the first Canadian province to establish its own, ongoing immigration program, which selects internationally trained and experienced workers who have the skills needed in the local labour market.

A skilled worker has specialized education and training and work experience in their occupation. Examples include regulated professions - nurse, dentist, accountant, teacher - and trades such as plumber and electrician.

In Manitoba, skilled workers can receive excellent salaries and benefits.

The challenge immigrants face, however, is getting their qualifications - international education and experience - recognized by Canadian employers or regulatory bodies. Manitoba is a national leader in providing newcomers with resources so you can take charge of your career planning and find the job you want.
