Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) has gained significant popularity among economic immigrants due to Manitoba’s strong economy, low unemployment rate, affordable cost of living, and high quality of life. The province actively encourages immigration from educated and experienced individuals with job-ready English skills to address the shortage of skilled workers. Over the period until 2020, Manitoba is projected to create approximately 254,000 new job opportunities.
The government of Manitoba offers a free immigration program for skilled workers and entrepreneurs, providing a faster route to Canadian permanent resident status for eligible workers. The application and assessment process for skilled workers and families seeking to move to Manitoba as Canadian permanent residents has been made clearer and more straightforward, making immigration to the province easier.
- All applicants, except those currently working in Manitoba with valid work permits, are assessed based on a new points system.
Job Skills and Experience: Applicants must be skilled individuals of working age with recent experience, education/training, and the ability to meet employment qualification requirements.
Connection to Manitoba: Applicants should have a genuine intention to settle in Manitoba, demonstrated through current employment, family connections, friends, past work or school experience, and a plan for establishing their career and family life in the province.
Job-Ready English: An applicant must possess strong language skills to communicate effectively in the workplace.
How to Get the Visa:
The new points system applies only to overseas students, while temporary foreign workers and international student graduates are not affected. The award points are based on factors such as employability, education, language proficiency, connection to Manitoba, and adaptability, as demonstrated through a Settlement Plan to economically establish in the province.
Other Immigration Options:
If an individual does not qualify for the MPNP, they can seek help from immigration experts at Visas Online Express to explore alternative immigration options, including family sponsorship or temporary programs for visiting or working in Manitoba, as outlined by the Government of Canada on their Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.
