The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program or the MPNP is one of the leading Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) of the Canadian Government. This immigration program enables the province of Manitoba to nominate eligible individuals and families for immigration to Canada after evaluating their profile based on certain eligibility criteria being set by the province. Manitoba Immigration Since its first launch in 1998, approximately 150,000 immigrants have arrived in Canada through the MPNP only within the first two decades of the launch of the program. In its current scenario, the Manitoba Immigration Authorities are doing plausible efforts to welcome more qualified immigrants in the coming years. The MPNP however underwent an important overhaul in the year 2019, a process that remain continued for 2020. Changes include introduction of some new immigration pathways and streams, which includes incorporation of a dedicated immigration stream for Express Entry candidates that have concrete plans to settle in Manitoba for an extended period of time. Some other new features included in the MPNP includes a pathway designed specifically for providing faster application approval for international applicants that have completed their graduation from an academic institute based in Manitoba, and also another new stream designed to attract business immigrants. Majority of these new immigration pathways to Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) will be kept under the existing International Skilled Worker Stream, which will operate in the same manner until some new changes are added in this immigration category. The current criteria for the MPNP being followed under this stream, which is divided into two sub-streams, that are the Skilled Worker Overseas and Skilled Workers in Manitoba categories, would remain active for filing the applications and also for the receiving new applications from the province. There is total four streams under the updates Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), which further includes within them some more immigration pathways. • Skilled Worker Overseas Stream The MPNP designed for Skilled Workers is a locally driven immigration stream and is based on the needs and requirements of the Manitoba employers. The provincial government of Manitoba selects experienced as well as internationally trained workers who possess the required skilled that are in-demand within the local labor market of Manitoba, and then nominate them for the permanent resident visa, thus allowing them to live and work in Manitoba. The MPNP which specifically targets skilled individuals through its Skilled Worker Overseas Stream (SWO) gives priority and nominates candidates who successfully demonstrate a prior connection with the province via: • THE SUPPORT OF FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS; • THROUGH PRIOR WORK EXPERIENCE OR EDUCATION IN THE PROVINCE; OR • THROUGH AN INVITATION TO APPLY (ITA) BRING RECEIVED DIRECTLY FROM THE MPNP AS PART OF THEIR STRATEGIC RECRUITMENT INITIATIVE.
