Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program
The MPNP – Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program chooses candidates for immigration to Manitoba depending on the specific economic needs of the province. The program aims to be responsive to the labor market needs of the province and its wider economic priorities. The prospective candidates are regularly communicated regarding these priorities through the list of Occupations In-Demand that is updated regularly.
The four broad immigration pathways under MPNP are:
- Skilled Worker Overseas Pathway
- Skilled Worker in Manitoba Pathway
- Business Investor Pathway
- International Education Pathway
Manitoba PNP also approves of experimental visits from the candidates in the skilled worker immigration francophone pathway. It is aimed at assisting them to quickly integrate into the province upon arrival.
