Winnipeg - Post Report Question and Answers

What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?

If coming to work for USG (state or border protection) you will need to find your own home. This is the first time we arrived to a house with NOTHING in it, and no welcome kit. The city is small, so average commute times are short--30 minutes would be a hefty commute with light traffic. One hour would be a bad commute here, and only happens during rush hour. - Apr 2016


We find our own housing here. We've had a great real estate agent who showed us several options, and were able to find investors we could rent from. Everything is 20 minutes away from where we live. We live in a nice suburban home, with a spacious backyard. - Aug 2013
