The Manitoba Province of Canada will organize here on Friday a new program designed to help immigrants from Gujarat and other parts of India to help them with information they would need in the North American country.

This is part of the “Ready for Manitoba Program (RMP) that seeks to assist immigrants from India, the Philippines and China who have met eligibility requirements, including Manitoba-bound immigrants selected by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) or the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) to become permanent residents, said Lualhati Marcelino, International Program Coordinator, RMP, University of Manitoba, here on Thursday.

The program will provide services such as information and orientation, employment-related services, and community supports to help immigrants before they arrive to start their new lives in Manitoba.

The RMP was developed at the University of Manitoba in the fall of 2015 in coordination with CIC and will be delivered by Extended Education at the University of Manitoba.

The program will be delivered mainly through face to face as well as online technology, including virtual classroom sessions, live webinars, online videos and social media tools. In addition to online components, there will be onsite classroom workshops and face-to- face meetings with individuals in each of the three countries participating in the program.

The program is expected to address newcomers’ needs for early and occupation-specific career guidance, employment advice, educational planning, and community awareness.

The RMP will allow participants to learn about resources that will help them make their transition to Canadaeasier and acquire skills necessary for fully functioning and participating in Canadian society.
