Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program

Manitoba, located between two provinces, Ontario and Saskatchewan, serves as a gateway to western Canada in many respects.

In 1998, Manitoba became the first province to establish a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). As a small province with few newcomers, it relied on the PNP to advertise itself as a preferred location for talented immigrants. Manitoba has been an intensive immigration success story since then. Immigration has played a significant role in Manitoba's population, labor force, and economic growth. If you want to immigrate to Manitoba, you have five options:

  • Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream;
  • Skilled Worker Overseas Stream;
  • Manitoba Business Investor Stream;
  • International Education Stream;
  • Morden Community Driven Initiative.

The Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream is applied for competent temporary foreign employees and international student graduates who are currently employed in Manitoba and have been offered a permanent, full-time position with a Manitoba company.

The Skilled Worker Overseas Stream is for qualified and skilled workers who are currently working outside of Canada but have a stable connection to the province. This category may also apply to a skilled worker who is already in Canada.

The Manitoba Business Investor Stream is intended for applicants who want to start a business in Manitoba.

The International Education Stream is intended for international graduates who have graduated from a Manitoba post-secondary institution and wish to remain in Manitoba permanently.

The Morden Community Driven Initiative is for welders, carpenters, cooks, plumbers, and pipefitters who want to work in the modern rural community.

Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream

The Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream is divided into two sections:

Manitoba Work Experience Pathway

This route is for persons who are currently working in Manitoba on a temporary work permit. Temporary employees and international graduates of Canadian post-secondary institutions are included.

Employer Direct Recruitment Pathway

To be considered for this programme, you must be interviewed by both an MPNP representative and a Manitoba company. These interviews take place outside of Canada. Before applying using this route, you must first get an Invitation to Apply.

Skilled Worker Overseas Stream

The Skilled Worker Overseas Stream is divided into two sections:

Manitoba Express Entry Pathway

This route is intended for persons who have an active Express Entry profile and are qualified for another MPNP stream. These individuals must also have experience in an occupation on Manitoba's list of In-Demand Occupations and a strong connection to Manitoba.

Human Capital Pathway

This pathway is intended for foreign skilled workers having experience in one of Manitoba's In-Demand Occupations.

Manitoba Business Investor Stream

There are two options for people who want to immigrate to Manitoba and do business there:

Farm Investor Pathway

This pathway is intended for those with farm business experience who want to immigrate to Manitoba to build and operate a farm.

Entrepreneur Pathway

The Entrepreneur Pathway enables Manitoba to attract and designate qualified international business owners to relocate to the province. They must have the desire and ability to start or buy a new firm, or to co-own an existing one. They must do so within the first two years of their temporary work permit in Manitoba.

International Education Stream

The International Education Stream (IES) is intended to provide faster pathways to permanent residence for Manitoba graduates who fulfil the criteria of industry. There are three tracks in the stream: Career Employment Pathway, Graduate Internship Pathway, and Student Entrepreneur Pathway.

The International Education Stream (IES) is designed for international graduates of Manitoba educational institutions who meet labor-market requirements. The IES expedites graduates' paths to permanent residence. There are three alternatives available to you:

Career Employment Pathway

The Career Employment Pathway is designed for post-secondary graduates who have long-term employment in a high-demand occupation in Manitoba.

Graduate Internship Pathway

The Graduate Internship Pathway is for international master's and doctoral graduates who have completed an Accelerate or Elevate internship with Mitacs, an institution that collaborates with the Manitoba government to help international graduates find internships.

Morden Community-Driven Immigration Initiative

To be eligible, you must be at least 18 years old, have a high level of education, speak a foreign language, and have no ties to any other area of Canada. Furthermore, you must desire to dwell in Morden and have sufficient funds to settle.
