2. Choose Manitoba
 Each year some 15,000 people from countries all over the world move to
Manitoba, finding in this Canadian province new jobs and careers, friendly
communities and affordable family living.
 Newcomers choose Manitoba for many reasons. Some choose Manitoba to be
closer to family, some for employment opportunities, and for others it is an
attraction to a part of Canada that is not too big and not too small.
 Manitoba immigrants are succeeding! According to a recent survey, 85 per cent
of Manitoba provincial nominees were working three months after arrival, 76 per
cent were homeowners within five years and 95 per cent of families settle
permanently in the community, making Manitoba their new home.
