Newcomer Community Integration Support Program

Manitoba Settlement Support Services (MSSS) provides project funding to enhance settlement and integration services and programs that facilitate the successful social and economic integration of newcomers in Manitoba.

The MSSS aims to build a network of support and a community of care to better assist newcomers’ integration into the Manitoba community. Additionally, it will empower newcomers to find jobs that align with their skills and aid the development of professional networks. Selected projects will align with the mandate of the department and enable newcomers to participate fully in the community and contribute to a growing economy in Manitoba.

The MSSS fills gaps in newcomer services in Manitoba by funding settlement and integration projects that enhance the existing service network, ensuring efforts are complementary and avoid duplication.

Manitoba Labour and Immigration encourages and welcomes diverse proposals that align with the objectives and outcomes outlined in this CFA. Our goal is to fund initiatives that holistically address the multi-faceted needs of newcomers, ensuring that newcomers receive comprehensive support, gain vital skills, and actively engage within their local communities, contributing to Manitoba’s growth and prosperity.
