The Canada Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is a PNP which nominates eligible candidates to apply for permanent residency. MPNP is one of the most popular nomination programs of Canada. In the year 2023, MPNP was allocated 9,500 nominations, which clearly shows that the province is one of the most popular ones among immigrants.
Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) Streams
There are three streams under MPNP which are further divided into several pathways.
Skilled Worker Stream
The Skilled Worker Stream of MPNP nominates eligible skilled workers, whether already working in Manitoba or outside. After nomination, they may apply for permanent residency in Canada.
The Skilled Worker stream is further classified in two pathways:
- Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM)
- Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO)
1. Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM)
The Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM) pathway is for candidates who are already working in the province, meet education and training requirements, language requirements, work experience requirements, and have required settlement funds.
2. Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO)
You may apply to the Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO) pathway if you can prove being connected to the province through any one of the following ways:
- have the support of a family member/friend
- received education or gained work experience in Manitoba
- were invited by the MPNP as part of a Strategic Recruitment Initiative
International Education Stream (IES)
The International Education Stream (IES) is designed to assist international students who graduated from a post-secondary institution in Manitoba. The IES is divided into three pathways:
- Career Employment Pathway
- Graduate Internship Pathway
- International Student Entrepreneur Pilot (ISEP)
1. Career Employment Pathway
Apply for the Career Employment Pathway if you are an international student who just graduated from a post-secondary institution in Manitoba and have received a job offer to work in an in-demand occupation which is related to your education.
2. Graduate Internship Pathway
The Graduate Internship Pathway is right for you if you have completed an Accelerate or Elevate internship in Manitoba after graduating as a master’s or doctoral student. If you have completed an internship, you don’t even need a job offer to apply.
3. International Student Entrepreneur Pilot (ISEP)
The International Student Entrepreneur Pilot (ISEP) is a special nomination pathway since it only selects 20 students in a year and offers them the chance to be an entrepreneur in Manitoba. A student is chosen if they meet the Business Performance Agreement criteria.
Business Investor Stream
Business investors with experience and entrepreneurs who can benefit the province are targeted by MPNP under the Business Investor stream.
The pathways under the Business Investor Stream are:
- Entrepreneur Pathway (EP)
- Farm Investor Pathway (FIP)
1. Entrepreneur Pathway (EP)
If you intend to establish a business or purchase an existing one in Manitoba, you may be eligible for the Entrepreneur Pathway (EP).
2. Farm Investor Pathway (FIP)
As the name suggests, the Farm Investor Pathway (FIP) is for individuals with farm business experience, adequate capital investment, and a willingness to live and work in Manitoba.
Once you immigrate to Manitoba through the FIP, your farm business must produce products which reflect Manitoba’s farm industry.
Other Provincial Nominee Programs for Immigration
Other than Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), you may also immigrate to Canada through any of the following provincial nominee programs:
- Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)
- British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP)
- Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)
- Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)
- New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP)
- Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)
- Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)
- Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP)
- Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)
- Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP)
Since Quebec is responsible for its own immigration allocations, its immigration program, Quebec Selected Skilled Worker Program, does not operate under IRCC, and hence, is not mentioned above with other PNPs.
On the other hand, Nunavut recently became a Canadian territory and does not have an immigration program at the moment.
