WINNIPEG - Statistics Canada figures show immigrants are the main driver behind Manitoba's continued population growth.
Since October 2010, a record 15,770 people from around the world have come to the province.
Manitoba has a provincial nominee program that aims to speed up the process of applying for a permanent visa.
Trade Minister Peter Bjornson says the province's population growth is the third-best in the country.
There are now 1,254,700 people who call Manitoba home.
