christmasoompa is correct.

Perhaps it would be helpful to read the Q&A on the CIC website to confirm before giving (incorrect) information?.

I would like to apply to the IEC initiative. May my child come with me? What will his/her status be?

Yes, your child may come to Canada with you....... (read the rest online)

If you came over on an IEC visa and did the same work in Alberta, you could apply for the same scheme in Alberta.

same is for Manitoba..6 month employment with the same employer offering you further full time permanent work and you can apply for PNP.

Check out Maple Leaf Foods in Brandon and/or Hylife Food in Neepawa, if you have butcher experience and show up with a valid work visa, they might just bend over. You probably can find employment as well in grocery stores with meat sections. Gotta do some research...
