Winnipeg’s population is diverse, young, and steadily growing

In 2008, Winnipeg’s population (CMA) was estimated at over 730,000 and according to the Conference Board of Canada latest projections; Winnipeg is poised to grow by over 6,000 or 0.9% in 2009. This gain is largely attributable to a sharp increase in international migration and a slowdown of net interprovincial out-migration.

The success of the increasing population base can largely be attributed to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). This program provides a broad framework to recruit and nominate skilled workers and business immigrants who have a strong likelihood of becoming successfully established and make a positive contribution to the province. This program helps co-ordinate business, labour and government interests in expanding employment and business enterprises in Manitoba through immigration.
