The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is an immigration program designed to attract skilled workers, business investors, and international graduates to settle in the Province of Manitoba.  It operates as part of Canada’s broader Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) and allows the province to nominate individuals who meet its labor market and economic needs.

Step 1:  Expression of Interest (EOI) Submission

Prospective applicants must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) online. This is not an application but rather an initial profile submission where candidates provide details about their skills, work experience, education, language proficiency, and connection to Manitoba.  Based on this information, they receive a score and are placed in a pool of candidates.

Step 2: Invitation to Apply (ITA)

The MPNP conducts regular draws, selecting the highest-scoring candidates from the EOI pool.  Those selected receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for provincial nomination.  The selection criteria vary based on the specific MPNP stream under which the candidate applied.

Step 3: Submission of Full Application

Once invited, candidates must submit a complete application to the MPNP, providing supporting documents to verify their qualifications. Depending on the stream applied to, it includes proof of work experience, education credentials, language test results, and a connection to Manitoba.  Applications are assessed based on Manitoba’s economic and labor market needs.

Step 4: Provincial Nomination Approval

If the MPNP approves an application, the candidate receives a provincial nomination, which significantly boosts their chances of obtaining Canadian permanent residence.  The nomination adds 600 points to the applicant’s Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score in the Express Entry system, if applicable.

Step 5: Application for Permanent Residence

After receiving the provincial nomination, candidates can submit their permanent residence application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The federal government conducts background checks, including medical and security assessments, before granting final approval.

MPNP Streams

The MPNP has 3 streams with several pathways tailored to different applicant profiles:

• Skilled Worker Stream: designed for internationally trained professionals with experience in occupations that are in demand within Manitoba’s labor market. 
• International Education Stream: offers a faster nomination process for international graduates from Manitoba, whose skills align with industry needs. 
• Business Investor Stream: targets experienced entrepreneurs and investors who intend to establish or acquire businesses in Manitoba.

The MPNP provides a pathway to Canadian permanent residence for skilled workers, international graduates, and business investors who wish to contribute to Manitoba’s economy.  By aligning immigration with local labor market demands, the program helps strengthen the province’s workforce and economy while offering newcomers an opportunity for a better future in Canada.
