Allemployers wanting to recruit foreign workers in Manitoba will first be required to register with Employment Standards. This requirement results from The Worker Recruitment and Protection Act, which improves protections for foreign workers.

Employer Registration Forms can be downloaded from the Employment Standards website. Employers are required to provide information about their company and the types of positions for which they are recruiting. They also need to provide information about any third-party agencies and all individuals who will be involved in the recruitment process.

The immigration application of the foreign worker will not proceed until the employer hiring them is registered with Employment Standards. For more information about hiring a Manitoba Provincial nominee, please visit -services/

There is no fee for employer registration. Employers must register with Employment Standards before applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment from the Government of Canada or making a job offer as part of the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program application process.

Employment Standards will ensure the applicant provides any information required as part of the application, and will review the applicant's past conduct to assess whether they will behave lawfully, honestly, and in the public interest while carrying out the business of the license or registration.

Employers who submit a Labour Market Impact Assessment application to the federal government without supplying a Certificate of Registration will be referred back to Employment Standards for registration. The offence of recruiting without registering is subject to fines as high as $25,000 - $50,000.

Foreign workers can only be recruited by a third party who is licensed by Employment Standards or falls under an exemption. The offence of recruiting without a licence is subject to fines as high as $25,000 - $50,000. The employer hiring the worker will also be held liable, resulting in their recruitment registration being cancelled.

The following do not need a licence:

The only way to know for sure is to check the website at www.manitoba.ca/labour/standards or by contacting Employment Standards. The names of all people or companies holding a valid licence are posted on our website. If they are not on the list, they are not licensed.

Employment Standards conducts inspections and investigations to ensure employees are not being charged fees.

In situations where an employee has been charged a fee, it will be ordered to be repaid. The licence could also be revoked and the licence holder could be subject to fines as high as $25, 000 - $50,000. Directors and officers of a corporation will also be subject to a $25,000 fine.

Foreign workers coming to Manitoba under employer-directed recruitment are given all necessary application forms and help directly by either Citizenship and Immigration Canada or the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program.

If further help is required, the worker is responsible for choosing the services. Services cannot be provided by a person that is linked, either directly or indirectly, to the recruitment activity.

Foreign workers, including workers with temporary status, have the same rights as all other workers in Manitoba.

Foreign workers are further protected by the conditions upon which they were allowed to work in Manitoba. This means employers cannot reduce the terms and conditions of the employment contract or Labour Market Impact Assessment, even if the worker agrees. Employment Standards will enforce the negotiated rate of pay and benefits as the minimum standards.

If an employer lays off a temporary foreign worker, it is necessary to contact Employment Standards to discuss what steps should be taken to inform and support the worker. Employment Skills Development Canada and Citizenship and Immigration Canada must also be notified.

Employers are required to immediately report any changes to Employment Standards. Employers are responsible for paying any benefits promised during the recruitment process such as transportation costs to and from Manitoba. Employment Skills Development Canada and Citizenship and Immigration Canada must also be notified.

Applicants can appeal a refusal, cancelation, or suspension related to a licence or registration under the Worker Recruitment and Protection Act to the Court of King's Bench. Applicants who wish to appeal must file a Notice of Application (form 14B at the Statutory Publications Office) with the court within 14 days of receiving the decision.

Along with the decision, Employment Standards will provide the applicant with complete information about appealing a decision and will answer any questions.

This is a general overview and the information used is subject to change. For detailed information, please refer to current legislation including The Worker Recruitment and Protection Act, or contact the Employment Standards Branch to ask for advice.

Regulated occupations include professions and trades that are regulated in order to protect the health and safety of the public. In Manitoba, there are 31 regulated professions under the Fair Registration Practices in Regulated Professions Act.

The Fair Registration Practices Office (FRPO) administers the Fair Registration Practices in Regulated Professions Act and ensures the registration practices of self-regulated professions in Manitoba are fair and transparent. The 31 self-regulated professions listed under the Act must ensure its members meet a high standard of professional practice. In doing so, they must also ensure that registration of professionals is fair, clear and well-defined. The FRPO provides oversight so all applicants receive fair consideration and registration decisions are transparent, objective, impartial and fair.

To practice a regulated occupation, you must apply for registration with the appropriate regulatory body or regulator. A regulator is a government-approved organization that governs a profession. Regulators are responsible for ensuring their members are qualified to provide safe and competent practice to the public. They assess applicant qualifications and grant eligible individuals the legal authority to practice their profession in Manitoba.

For some professions, a fact sheet has been developed by the Province of Manitoba's Immigration Division. Each fact sheet directs users to information, tools, and resources to help better understand the professional registration process in Manitoba.

Internationally educated professionals should contact the regulator for their profession directly to learn about the requirements for registration: the steps involved, application forms, a list of required documents, information on exams, fees, and other important information.

There are over 55 designated trades in Manitoba. While trades are regulated occupations, only 9 trades have compulsory certification, meaning you must either be a registered apprentice or journeyperson to work in them:

To obtain journeyperson status in any of the 55+ designated trades in Manitoba, individuals must obtain a certificate of qualification (also referred to as "trades certification"). There are two paths to trades certification: through supervised training called apprenticeship; or, for experienced tradespeople, through challenging the trades qualification exam.

For non-regulated occupations, there are no set requirements and there is no legal requirement to obtain a licence. The employer will set the standards and could request registration with a professional association.

The first step to obtaining your license is certification with Assiniboine. Certification is valid for five years and expires on December 31st of the fifth calendar year. Re-certification is required through Assiniboine every five years. The Guide to Pesticide Certification outlines the steps to take to complete your certification/recertification.
