Winnipeg, Manitoba is known as the "gateway to the West" connecting Ontario to the Prairie Provinces. A mid-sized city with a population of 749,607, it offers big-city living at an affordable cost of living.
Winnipeg's economy is rated as one of the fastest-growing among Canada's major cities. Its economy is anchored by manufacturing, financial services, and IT. Headquarters for some of Canada's largest insurance companies are located in Winnipeg. For more information, speak to Manami Alexander from Immigrant Centre Manitoba.
While Winnipeg has seen a rise in housing prices over the past few years, housing prices are still low compared to other cities in Canada. Have a question about rental housing in Winnipeg? Speak to Era Shtino, a housing specialist from Mainstreet Equity!
