Manitoba is one of the few provinces where credit union and caisse deposits are guaranteed in full by a provincial body, and basic auto insurance is sold only through the public insurer, Manitoba Public Insurance. Banks still follow federal rules, so bank deposits are covered by CDIC up to its limits.
The Deposit Guarantee Corporation of Manitoba guarantees 100% of deposits held at Manitoba credit unions and caisses, with no dollar cap. Deposits at federally regulated banks are covered by CDIC instead, up to CAD 100,000 per eligible category.
Basic Autopac coverage is compulsory and is only available from Manitoba Public Insurance through brokers. Private insurers can sell optional extension coverage, so comparing car insurance in Manitoba mostly means comparing extensions and deductibles.
Manitoba charges 7% retail sales tax on top of the 5% GST. Buyers pay a provincial land transfer tax on most home purchases, and homeowners may claim the provincial Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit against school taxes on their principal residence.
These products name Manitoba in the availability terms the provider publishes. Most listings do not state provincial availability yet, so check other categories too.
