Welcome to the Manitoba Immigration and Multiculturalism online Immigration Planning Guide for regional communities.

The Immigration Planning Guide will assist you in working through the stages of immigration planning. Whether your community is beginning to consider immigration as an economic growth strategy or you are further along in your immigration planning, this guide is structured to assist you with a checklist of planning steps.

The immigration planning process can be viewed as cyclical. As your community builds its knowledge and experience relative to immigration, you will revisit the same steps, refreshing and fine-tuning through each cycle. Planning Cycle

The cyclical nature of immigration planning has been taken into consideration in developing the various sections outlined on this site.

This section covers all the steps in planning and implementing an immigration plan. It answers questions including:

• Why communities choose immigration as a growth strategy
• Where in Manitoba do immigrants settle
• How immigrants come to Manitoba
• How to promote your community
• What services need to be in place to help immigrants get established – and remain – in your community
