The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) seeks skilled workers and their families who have the documented intention and ability to successfully settle and economically establish in Manitoba as permanent residents. The MPNP nominates people who we assess as having a strong connection to Manitoba and sufficient skills, education and training, work experience, English proficiency, and adaptability to make an immediate and ongoing contribution to the provincial community and labour market. Being nominated by the MPNP provides you expedited processing of your Canadian Permanent Resident Visa application. This makes the MPNP a faster route to Canadian permanent resident status for Manitoba-destined immigrants.
There is no deadline to apply to the MPNP. However, program criteria may change without notice and your application will be assessed according to the criteria on our website when we receive your complete application. The MPNP does not accept incomplete applications. The government of Manitoba has the sole authority to assess and nominate applicants. The MPNP is not a sponsorship program. We are an economic immigration program for independent skilled workers. By approving your MPNP application Manitoba nominates you f or Canadian permanent resident status. Nominees must apply for their visa within the time set by the MPNP. The Government of Canada has the final authority to issue permanent resident visas. Being accepted to move to Canada does not guarantee employment in your preferred job or any other job.
The Province of Manitoba and the staff of the MPNP look forward to receiving your application and helping you and your family make Manitoba your new home.
Answer a few questions using the interactive Come to Manitoba, Canada Tool to determine which path to permanent residence in our province is better suited to your situation, and to ensure you have the documents required to support your application to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP).

The Come to Manitoba, Canada Tool is for self-assessment only.

Who is inadmissible?

Caregivers, students, visitors and family sponsorships are the responsibility of Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Applications from investors and entrepreneurs are expedited through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program for Business. Refugees (current or refused claimants) living in Canada are not eligible for the MPNP. Such people may apply from outside of Canada if you have proof of legal status in the country in which you are now living.
For English language proficiency there are two factors that must be considered by all skilled workers interested in applying to immigrate to Manitoba through the MPNP: 1. 2. language ability, demonstrated by an approved test, to be eligible to submit an application the requirement, as part of the MPNP criteria of employability, to have job-ready English, that is: sufficient English skills to perform your job in Manitoba

Once you have a job in Manitoba, you are expected to perform all the job duties using English
On the job in Manitoba, you need to understand the workplace health and safety guidelines, speak with colleagues, customers and supervisors, participate in meetings, and write reports and memos. Each of these tasks requires good English skills and an understanding of the communication conventions used in your specific workplace. Find out the required, and recommended, English communication skills and/or CLB levels specific to your occupation using the information under Education & Job Requirements tab of the Working in Manitoba, Canada Tool.
For many immigrant workers, feedback from supervisors may be not clear. Canadian managers can be seen as politically correct, and often try to sandwich negative comments between positive ones. They try to soften the remarks and provide criticism in an indirect polite way so if your English isnt good you may miss the point of the conversation. Communication is very complex and only by being immersed in the local language and culture can one really begin to become aware of and understand all the important nuances.

Neighbours, other newcomers, classmates, and colleagues are all eager to support you in settling and good English skills will ease your transition.

Basic responsibilities, such as insuring your car and paying taxes require English language skills to fully understand the system. Through English media (TV, radio, newspapers, Internet) you can understand currents issues in the city, province and country. You can become involved in politics, community affairs and volunteerism.

Conditions
A Manitoba Supporter must be:
able to provide documentation proving they reside and are economically established in Manitoba and have been living in the province continuously for at least one year (ex: copy of Manitoba Health Card) a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (ex: copy of Permanent Resident Card) able to demonstrate sufficiently close ties to the applicant and to Manitoba able to demonstrate that any applications they previously supported resulted in successful, permanent economic establishment in Manitoba able to support the applicants Settlement Plan 1. A friend or distant relative must not be currently supporting the settlement of another MPNP applicant, nominee or person under another Canadian immigration program. Note: This condition applies to your household. For example: If you are supporting an application, your spouse cannot be the supporter of another application. 2. A close relative may support more than one close family applicant at a time provided the supporter satisfactorily demonstrates the ability to do so.
For close relative, both the applicant and his or her Manitoba Supporter must provide documents proving their familial relationship (ex: applicant uploads identity documents with MPNP Online; supporter includes identity documents when completing the separate Settlement Plan Part 2 form). Your supporter cannot be, and the MPNP will not accept a Settlement Plan Part 2 signed by:
a paid immigration representative anyone who is not a demonstrated relative or friend of the applicant or the applicants spouse any Canadian elected official or his/her staff
The MPNP advises applicants to use their Manitoba Supporter and his/her address as their local contact for any correspondence with the MPNP during the application assessment process. Applicants may declare only ONE person as their designated representative. This person is authorized to discuss their application with the MPNP. Note that the MPNP is NOT a sponsorship program. Because the MPNP is a labour-market-driven economic immigration program, all applicants must be employable and adaptable skilled workers with job-ready English, sufficient settlement funds and the genuine intention and ability to economically establish in Manitoba as permanent residents. In their Settlement Plan applicants demonstrate their intention, ability and plan to establish their work and family life in Manitoba as permanent residents. In Part 2 the Manitoba Supporter explains how s/he will help their relative or friend achieve those stated short and long-term employment goals (for example: becoming licensed to work in an occupation that is regulated in Manitoba).
Pre-assessment
Assessment
Points
All overseas applicants (that is, anyone who does not mean the MPNP eligibility criteria Currently Working in Manitoba) are subject to a points system. To be eligible to apply to the MPNP, overseas skilled workers must score at least 60 points on the five factors of theMPNP Self-assessment Worksheet; (Connection to Manitoba is required of all applicants, regardless of points scored). If there is a difference between how you assess yourself and a MPNP program officers assessment, the program officers assessment will be used. Points are a measure of meeting the eligibility threshold to apply, and do not guarantee nomination; the MPNP reserves the right to assess each eligible application on a case-by-case basis.
Before you apply, research your occupation using the Working in Manitoba, Canada Tool. Find out the qualification requirements for working in your occupation in Manitoba. Doing research and planning will help you to make an informed decision and to complete your MPNP application successfully. The Working in Manitoba, Canada Tool provides current descriptions of duties, skills, talents and work settings according to Canadas National Occupational Classification (NOC). You will also see that some occupations are regulated in Manitoba. This means you must go through a licensing process before you can work. This is considered in assessment because it affects your ability to find employment in your occupation. For example, if you are trained and experienced as a doctor but state your occupation as janitor, you will be assessed as a doctor. In your Settlement Plan you must explain how you intend to meet the provincial licensing requirements to work as a doctor, as well as a plan to find immediate employment in a related, unregulated occupation, such as healthcare aide, which you can do while you are undergoing the licensing process. Because the MPNP is an economic immigration program, assessment also takes into account the local labour market demand and outlook for your occupation. For example, if your occupation is teacher and you cannot work until certified in Manitoba, where there is currently a low demand for teachers, the program may take these factors into account. As stated in the example of regulated occupations (doctor, above), the MPNP will consider your transferable skills to jobs related to your occupation with equal or similar skill levels. Receiving approval under the MPNP does not mean that you can immediately start working upon arrival in Manitoba. It is your responsibility to find employment. Completing any assessment of qualifications, education and experience is your responsibility; the MPNP Settlement Plan (and MPNP Pre-arrival Workbook for nominees) will assist you in this process.
Adaptability
The MPNP is not a sponsorship program. We select independent skilled workers with the ability and intention to settle and establish their work and family lives in Manitoba as permanent residents, a process which requires adaptability. Connection to Manitoba is a measure of an applicants ability and intention to establish in our province as a permanent resident, demonstrated by job experience and a long-term job offer for applicants currently working in Manitoba and, for overseas applicants, social or family ties, past school or work experience, or familiarity gained through an MPNP recruitment mission or MPNP exploratory visit. In assessing your application the MPNP considers whether you have ties to Manitoba that are sufficiently strong, and whether those ties are stronger than any connection you may have to another Canadian province. The MPNP reserves the right to refuse your application if you cannot demonstrate your connection to Manitoba is stronger than your connection to another province. Adjusting to life in Manitoba will take time and financial resources. All applicants are generally required to have at least C$10,000, plus C$2,000 in funds for their spouse and each accompanying dependant, to support yourself and your family while you are looking for a job, to ensure your successful settlement in Manitoba as well as to pay your Government of Canada immigration fees and travel expenses to Manitoba. Settlement Plan You must demonstrate your adaptability and employability by submitting with your application a Settlement Plan that shows: why you have chosen Manitoba as your immigration destination your plan for settling in a specific destination community the type and strength of your connection to Manitoba that you are taking steps to ensure your immediate and long-term employability in Manitoba Only applicants whose connection to Manitoba is familial or social must have their Settlement Plan endorsed by their Manitoba Supporter (a relative or friend successfully established in Manitoba who has been living in Manitoba continuously for at least one year and who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident). Your supporter must review your plan, and complete and submit Settlement Plan Part 2.
Language ability
All applicants must have job-ready English. In general, Canadian Language Benchmark Level 4 ( CLB 4) is considered to be the minimum English language ability for employment in Canada. However, many occupations require much greater proficiency in speaking, reading, writing and listening in English. All applicants except those currently working in Manitoba in NOC 0, A or B must submit results of an approved language test to demonstrate their English proficiency. Other positive criteria, such as family, social or community support and the information in your Settlement Plan, are important to demonstrate your adaptability to Manitoba but cannot replace the need to demonstrate that you have the language proficiency needed to work in your occupation.
August 2013
MPNP strengthens requirements for applicants from other Canadian provinces to demonstrate a strong commitment to living and working in Manitoba
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program has increased the length of time that skilled workers with connections to other Canadian provinces must work in Manitoba before they are eligible for the MPNP. Effective Sept. 1, foreign nationals who have previously studied in another province or territory of Canada will not be eligible to apply to the MPNP unless they can provide evidence of: 1. 2. 3. at least one year of ongoing work experience with a Manitoba employer valid work permit issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada an offer of a permanent full-time job from a Manitoba employer
Previously, the requirement was six months of work experience in Manitoba. This change does NOT affect temporary foreign workers in Manitoba or international student graduates of Manitoba post-secondary schools. They remain eligible for the MPNP when offered a job after six months of work.
NOTE: These criteria refer only to an applicant eligibility to apply and do not guarantee nomination by the MPNP. The MPNP reserves the right to assess each eligible application on a case-by-case basis.

(The MPNP also travels to regional communities in Manitoba to conduct information sessions.)
March 2013
MPNP streamlined; two paths to Manitoba This April were improving our Made in Manitoba immigration program by streamlining the MPNP for Skilled Workers, making it s impler and easier to understand for the many thousands who want to join our communities as permanent residents. The MPNP design improvements will create two easy avenues for immigration: 1. Skilled workers currently employed in Manitoba as temporary foreign workers or international student graduates will continue to be eligible for the program with a job offer after six months of local employment; Skilled workers overseas will be awarded points for language, work history, education and adaptability. A connection to Manitoba either through previous work experience, family or friends will remain a key factor under the program. The MPNP design improvements will come into effect April 1, 2013. Reminder: check your e-mail; postal correspondence not accepted Applicants, Manitoba Supporters and consultants are reminded that all MPNP correspondence is by e-mail. Ensure the program has your current e-mail address. If sending updates to immigratemanitoba@gov.mb.camake sure to include your full name, file number (if applicable) and both your new address and the address you previously provided. (Those who applied by mail will continue to receive postal correspondence.)
January 2013
General applicants may use MPNP Online Starting January 2013, all MPNP skilled worker applications are accessible online, including General stream applications. Previously, only Priority applicants could submit their MPNP applications online. Those who wish to apply through the existing mail-in application can continue to do so.
July 2012
Settlement Plan replaces MAS The MPNP has replaced the previous mail form Manitoba Affidavit of Support (MAS) with the Settlement Plan, which has been used with online applications since July 2011. This new, two-part form helps potential immigrants to start planning on how they will settle and find employment before they arrive in Manitoba. It is also a simpler way for applicants to demonstrate they have the support of family or friends in Manitoba. Applications using the old MAS form will continue to be accepted until October 1, 2012.
