Manitoba Immigration Program

The Canadian province of Manitoba manages its immigration program through MPNP, which supports immigration applications to the federal government of Canada. The provinces do not have the authority to give out permanent residency status, however, they can file an application by issuing provincial nominations. If you wish to have a nomination from Manitoba, then you need to register an EOI with Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. This will put you in a position to receive an LAA through Skilled Workers in Manitoba and Skilled Workers Overseas streams.

Manitoba evaluates immigration candidates out of 1000 points for their human capital factors. Both the MPNPs streams are designed to allow the province to identify immigration candidates who fulfill their labour market requirements.

Foreign candidates are required to exhibit connections to the province of Manitoba through close family ties, previous experience in the province, or an invitation through one of Manitoba’s strategic recruitment initiatives. One is also not required to be living in Manitoba during the application process to stand eligible.

In order to receive an invitation under the Skilled Workers in Manitoba category, you are required to have a full-time job offer from a provincial employer.

Foreign graduates who complete their education in Manitoba can receive an invitation under the International Education stream if they are able to demonstrate in-demand skills.
