Winnipeg Canadian Immigrant Newcomer Fair — July 10, 2026 (Free Job & Settlement Fair)

By Olami, AbroadPilot · Reviewed September 2026

If you are new to Winnipeg — or planning your move to Manitoba — and you are looking for work, the Winnipeg Canadian Immigrant Newcomer Fair is one of the most useful free events on the calendar. It is built specifically for skilled immigrants, newcomers and international students who want to launch a career, change jobs, go back to school, or simply build a network in Canada.

What the event is

The Canadian Immigrant Fair is a long-running tradeshow and speakers’ series organised by Canadian Immigrant magazine. It is free to attend and is built on the three pillars of immigrant success: careers, education and settlement. Rather than being a single-industry job fair, it brings together hiring employers, educational institutions and settlement-service providers under one roof, alongside speaker sessions running throughout the day.

For international job seekers, the practical value is that you can talk to employers who are actively hiring, get your resumé reviewed at the on-site Resumé Clinic, learn about study options to upgrade your credentials, and connect with the settlement agencies that help newcomers find housing, language support and community.

Who should attend

This fair is ideal if you are a newcomer or international student in or around Winnipeg who wants to:

• Meet employers who are actively hiring in Manitoba
• Get a free resumé review tailored to the Canadian job market
• Explore college and university programs to upgrade or re-certify your qualifications
• Connect with settlement agencies for help with housing, language and community support
• Attend speaker sessions on careers, credentials and settling in Canada

Everyone is welcome — you do not need to already have a job offer to benefit. Come prepared: bring several printed copies of your resumé, dress as you would for an interview, and have a short introduction ready for employers.
