The estimated population of Manitoba is 1.3 Million. Winnipeg is Manitoba’s largest city and the capital. The province has a range of resources to draw upon, which has allowed it to diversify its economic base. Numerous mineral deposits, including nickel, copper, gold, lead, silver, cadmium, and zinc, make mining a vital part of the economy. Manufacturing has overtaken agriculture as the largest sector of the province’s economy. The traditional industries are chiefly involved with resource processing: meatpacking, flour milling, and the production of lumber, pulp, and paper. Distilling, printing, textile manufacture, and nickel and copper ore smelting also remain important. Skilled workers, trade people, and professionals are an essential part of Manitoba economy. That is why Manitoba was the first Canadian province to establish its own immigration program, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program.
