Temporary Workers

There is a constant flow of temporary workers that are attracted to Manitoba.  After working for six months temporary workers are eligible to apply for permanent residency through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program.  The number of foreign workers that came to Manitoba in 2007 more than doubled over the previous four years, rising to 2,878 in 2007 from 1,426 in 2003.  The Worker Recruitment and Protection Act passed on June 12, 2008 is the first legislation of its kind in Canada to ensure monitoring and compliance measures are in place to protect vulnerable foreign workers from unscrupulous recruiters and employers.
