Manitoba - PNP Program
Manitoba PNP Program
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is a Canadia immigration program that allows the province of Manitoba to select skilled workers, international graduates and entrepreneurs who can contribute in their economy. The program helps people who want to live and work permanently in Manitoba by offering them a pathway to Canadian permanent residency.
There are another different streams under the MPNP, such as the Skilled Worker in Manitoba, Skilled Worker Overseas, International Education Stream and Business Investor Stream. Each stream has its own criteria, including work experience, education, language skills and ties to Manitoba (such as a job offer or close family).
The program is popular because it offers faster processing times and gives preference to applicants who already have a strong connection to Manitoba. After being nominated by the province, applicants can apply to the federal government for permanent residence in Canada.
