Open for Farm Ventures Through Immigration

With a population of 1.1 million and diverse skills and multicultural backgrounds, Manitoba is the ideal size and place to start or purchase a farm, and to raise a family. Manitoba invites you to explore the business-friendly atmosphere and abundant opportunities that await you in the province. We have a history of welcoming newcomers and fully recognize the importance farm immigrants are to our province’s economic and demographic development. We encourage you to take advantage of an extensive network of services available to newcomers.

The Province of Manitoba and Government of Canada share responsibilities regarding business people immigrating to Canada through the Provincial Nominee Program for Business.

The Young Farmer Nominee Program allows Manitoba to recruit and nominate qualified farm business people from around the world who have the intent and ability to move to Manitoba and establish, purchase a farm or become partners in an existing farm business.

The Young Farmer Nominee Program accelerates the immigration process by providing a Nomination Certificate to you which allows for faster processing by the Government of Canada of your immigration application. The Province of Manitoba is committed to help you and your family settle successfully, identify farm business opportunities and establish your farm business in the province.
