Manitoba offers various immigration pathways for individuals who wish to live and work in the province. One of the main immigration programs is the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP). Here's what you need to know:

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)

The MPNP is a pathway for skilled workers, business investors, and international graduates who want to settle in Manitoba. The program is designed to address the province's specific economic and labor market needs.

Streams under MPNP:

• Skilled Worker Stream: For skilled workers with experience in an occupation in demand in Manitoba and who have a connection to the province through previous study, work experience, or family.
• Business Investor Stream: For individuals who want to invest in and actively manage a business in Manitoba.
• International Education Stream: For international graduates from Manitoba post-secondary institutions who have in-demand skills and are offered a long-term job with a Manitoba employer.
• Human Capital Pathway: For skilled workers in Manitoba who have a full-time job offer from a Manitoba employer and meet the criteria for education, work experience, and language proficiency.

Eligibility Criteria:

Eligibility criteria for the MPNP vary depending on the stream you apply under. Common requirements may include education, work experience, language proficiency, and intention to live and work in Manitoba.

Application Process:

The application process for the MPNP involves submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. Candidates who meet the eligibility criteria are invited to apply for nomination by Manitoba.

Once nominated, candidates can apply for permanent residence to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) under the Provincial Nominee Class. Nominees receive additional points in the federal Express Entry system, increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
