Who's Actually Hiring Long-Term Care Aides Right Now

Manitoba — Manitoba Skilled Worker: In Demand Occupations 

Manitoba accounts for the largest share of open roles in this month's data, with 37 postings from four employers.

  • Southern Health–Santé Sud — 32 open Health Care Aide roles across Altona, Winkler, Morris, Emerson, Gladstone, Notre Dame de Lourdes, and St. Claude, MB. This is the single largest employer in this month's dataset.

How to Use This List

Every employer above currently has at least one open Long-Term Care Aide or Health Care Aide posting tied to a PR-linked pathway — that's what qualifies them for this list. It does not mean every employer is a formally designated sponsor under every provincial program. Some provincial streams (like Alberta's) work through nomination after a genuine job offer rather than a pre-approved employer list, and companies flagged "portal-eligible" on QuestJobs (see the blue-verified badge list) meet a pathway's occupation and location criteria without being confirmed as designated. This list should be read the same way — potentially eligible, not guaranteed to sponsor.

Practically, that means: apply to the specific posting, and before accepting any offer, check with the employer directly about their sponsorship policies and eligibility to sponsor for the pathway in question. This blog is only a guide to help you find where the postings are — QuestJobs did not consult with any of the companies mentioned here, so confirming the details directly with each employer is on you. Confirm the pathway itself is still open before you invest time in an application, too — streams open and close intake, and eligibility rules shift.
