MPNP for Skilled Worker

The MPNP for Skilled Workers is locally driven and based on the needs of Manitoba employers. Internationally trained and experienced workers who have the skills needed in the local labour market are nominated to receive Canadian permanent resident visas to settle and work in Manitoba.

The key to the success of the MPNP is the consistently strong and stable economy of our province. The diversity of Manitoba's growing industries and economic sectors keeps our unemployment rate low.

Good wages, safe working conditions, generous benefits, and workers' rights are some of the highlights of working in Manitoba. Plus, with Manitoba's low cost of living, and high standard of government services such as health care and education, the province offers an affordable, high-quality lifestyle.

The MPNP for Skilled Workers nominates applicants who have a strong connection to our province and sufficient skills, education and training, work experience, and official language proficiency to make an immediate and ongoing contribution to the Manitoba economy and our community at large.

All applicants must submit a Settlement Plan, to explain their plan for settling in Manitoba successfully and contributing economically. Upon nomination, we provide resources to help you put your plan into action toward achieving your goals.

The MPNP for Skilled Workers empowers you to take charge of your success, with a guided application process and, after nomination, pre-arrival planning tools to help you fast-track your entry into the Manitoba workforce in a job that matches your skills and experience.

MPNP for Business

The Provincial Nominee Program for Business allows Manitoba to recruit and nominate qualified businesspeople from around the world who have the intent and ability to move to Manitoba and establish, purchase a business, or become partners in an existing business.

With a population of 1.259 million and diverse skills and multicultural backgrounds, Manitoba is the ideal size and place to start or purchase a business or farm, and to raise a family. The Province of Manitoba and the Government of Canada share responsibilities regarding businesspeople immigrating to Canada through the Provincial Nominee Program for Business.

The Provincial Nominee Program for Business accelerates the immigration process by providing a Nomination Certificate to you which allows for faster processing by the Government of Canada of your immigration application.
