Immigration into Manitoba rises 87 percent in first five months of 1967
Manitoba reports 3,194 immigrant grants from January through May 1967, up from 1,709 in 1966, with the province accounting for 3.6 percent of Canada’s total immigration. Hon. Sidney J. Spivak cites government recruitment drives, overseas promotion, and a Europe-wide campaign as the cause, noting nurses, teachers, technicians, and other trades are targeted. The push included brochures, a new film, and a recruiting mission across the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Holland, and Malta, with 10,000 inquiries to date and a peak arrival of 60 Maltese in early June.
