For the first time since 2004, Statistics Canada is reporting that Manitoba experienced a quarterly net gain from interprovincial migration.
“Manitoba is a welcoming province, and more people are choosing to move and stay here because our economy is strong and there are opportunities to build a good life,” said Labour and Immigration Minister Malaya Marcelino. “Our province is growing as our government continues to make life more affordable and create good Manitoba jobs.”
During the first quarter of 2025, 4,352 people moved to Manitoba from another province or territory, more than the 4,246 people who moved out of the province.
The Manitoba government has been focused on attracting more skilled workers, reducing interprovincial trade barriers and introducing a buy-Canadian policy to strengthen the economy, added the minister.
