Work in Manitoba

The employment rate in Manitoba is over 95% and companies are always looking for bright new employees. As you study, you may also be able to get international work experience in one or more of Manitoba's diversified and dynamic economic sectors.

To help you plan for your ideal job in Manitoba, take advantage of Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada’s Planning to work in Manitoba, Canada? An essential workbook for newcomers ( 1.93 MB) to help you along the way.

If you hold a valid study permit, you may be able to work while studying without applying for a separate work permit:

• work on campus
• work off campus
• work as a co-op or intern
• work after you graduate

The specific criteria for each of these work opportunities are outlined by Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada. Visit the Government of Canada's Get a Student Work Permit page for detailed information.
