Yes, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) applies a 100-point deduction for each of the following risk factors:

• Work experience in another province
• Studies in another province

This means that if you have both studied and worked in other Canadian provinces, your total score could be reduced by 200 points.

Impact on Nomination:

The MPNP uses a points-based system to assess candidates, with a maximum of 1,000 points available. The Risk Assessment factor can deduct up to 200 points based on the criteria mentioned above. These deductions can significantly affect your overall score and competitiveness in the selection process.

Example:

• If you have studied in another province, 100 points will be deducted.
• If you have worked in another province, an additional 100 points will be deducted.
• Therefore, having both experiences results in a 200 point deduction.

To mitigate these deductions, strengthening your connection to Manitoba, such as securing employment in the province, completing education there, or having close family ties can enhance your overall score and improve your chances of nomination.

Even with this deduction, candidates with strong Manitoba connections, such as prior work experience in the province or a job offer can still qualify.
