MPNP - Skilled Worker Overseas Stream

All the chosen candidates are then nominated and/or invited to apply for Canadian Permanent Resident visas which will help them to work and get settled in Manitoba, Canada.

The Manitoba PNP Skilled Workers Overseas stream nominates all the candidates who indicate an established connection with Manitoba.

  • Through friends or family members staying in Manitoba.
  • Through any previous work experience or education in Manitoba province; or
  • Through an application invite directly received from the Manitoba PNP being a part of the Strategic Recruitment Initiative.

  • Score a minimum of 60 out of 100 points in the points assessment grid; and
  • Show a settled connection with Manitoba in the form of friends or family, or past work experience or have pursued education in Manitoba province, or have received an application invite issued by the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program,

Candidates are expected to send the Letter of Invitation they received from the MPNP during an exploratory visit or recruitment mission following their interview. The MPNP frequently conducts overseas recruiting missions, often in collaboration with employers from Manitoba Province, during which they look for prospective immigrants.

The MPNP accepts requests to make an exploratory visit to Manitoba during set times. This visit helps prospective MPNP applicants to determine if they have a sincere desire and capacity to settle in Manitoba as permanent residents in research communities and job opportunities. Exploratory visits are required to be approved by the MPNP and arranged by invitation only. The MPNP offers information about what to do during the visit and what documents are expected to be taken with them by candidates.

To become eligible for an exploratory visit, applicants are required to:

  • Age between 21 and 45;
  • Be able to show the employability and adaptability needed for all applicants for the MPNP;
