Manitoba MPNP: 3 Streams

Skilled Worker Stream, International Education Stream, Business Investor Stream.

1. Skilled Worker Stream:

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee program seeks recent graduates, skilled workers, businesspeople and their families with the intention and ability to successfully settle and economically establish in Manitoba as permanent residents. Manitoba makes it easy to immigrate and settle in our province.

The MPNP for Skilled Workers is locally driven and based on the needs of Manitoba employers. We select internationally trained and experienced workers who have the skills needed in the local labour market, and nominate them to receive Canadian permanent resident visas to settle and work in Manitoba. There are two streams:

• Skilled Workers in Manitoba

• Skilled Workers Overseas

2. International Education Stream

The new International Education Stream (IES) for Manitoba graduates is dedicated to providing international students graduating in Manitoba and meeting the needs of industry faster pathways to nomination.

There are three pathways:

• Career Employment Pathway

• Graduate Internship Pathway

• International Student Entrepreneur Pilot

Note: If you are an international student who graduated in another province of Canada, you will not be eligible under this stream but may be eligible under the renewed Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream.

3. Business Investor Stream

The renewed Business Investor Stream will replace the current PNP-B business immigration category. BIS allows Manitoba to recruit and nominate qualified business investors and entrepreneurs from around the world who have the intent and ability to start or purchase businesses in Manitoba. Applicants will no longer be required to submit a deposit of $100,000 to the Manitoba government.

There are two pathways:

• The Entrepreneur Pathwayfor applicants seeking to open a business in Manitoba; and

• The Farm Investor Pathwayfor those intending to establish and operate a farm operation in rural Manitoba.

The open work permit granted to you while you await the result of your refugee claim does not give the required temporary status that is required for you to be able to apply for PNP OR AIPP from within Canada. Thus, you must apply for PNP or AIPP from outside Canada.
