Premier Greg Selinger: Federal Changes

Citizenship And Immigration Department Office Dept: As part of the wave of budget cuts happening across the province, the federal Citizenship and Immigration Department office in Winnipeg will be relocated to Calgary, according to CBC. Without funding from that agreement, the province's highly-successful Provincial Nominee Program PNP is dead, he said, adding he learned about the changes late Wednesday and federal changes to immigration services will have a major impact in Manitoba and Premier Greg Selinger is fuming.
