Greg Selinger, Manitoba Premier, stated that “housing is a fundamental requirement for immigrants beginning a new and successful life in Manitoba... We know that when they get off to a good start, within five years many of them will become homeowners, and most get employment within the first six months.”
Moving to a new country can be very stressful. By providing immigrants with affordable and safe housing for up to three years after their arrival, the province is helping them to have a more smooth transition into a new society and into their new lives.
