Financial Help


There are costs to complete the registration process, such as exam fees. Two programs exist that may help you with these costs.

Recognition Counts!

Recognition Counts! is a program administered by SEED Winnipeg Inc. which provides micro loans for skilled immigrants to assist with qualification recognition, upgrading and/or training. To qualify for a loan you must work with Micro Loan Program staff to develop a budget/financial plan and submit a Career Action Plan. Staff at SEED Winnipeg can provide guidance on this process.
