No experience in Manitoba, but also hunted SK twice. Freelancing was pretty easy IF you could track down the landowner, got permission 100% of the time. We hunted Western SK, snows/ross' wear incredible but the white fronts were unbelievable. I do know a die hard snow goose hunter that moved his efforts from Manitoba to SK because of the hunting pressure in Manitoba. I've hunted spring snows in SD and NE for 20 years, no comparison to what Canada offers in late Sept and early October.
