Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP):

The MPNP allows Manitoba to nominate skilled workers, international graduates, and business investors for Canadian permanent residency. Successful nominees then apply to IRCC for PR. Programs are divided into three core streams: Skilled Worker, International Education, and Business Investor. (turn0search0)

1. Skilled Worker Stream

This stream has two key pathways, both managed through Expression of Interest (EOI) rounds:

• Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM)
  For candidates with strong Manitoba ties—such as a full-time job, prior work experience, or education in the province. Applicants are scored on an EOI grid. Invitations to Apply (LAAs) are sent to top-ranked candidates. (turn0search8, turn0search11)
• Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO)
  For applicants outside Canada with genuine connections to Manitoba (e.g., friends/family, previous Manitoba work/education, or strategic recruitment invitation). Eligibility includes working in in-demand occupations and submitting a career plan. Some candidates may be Express Entry–aligned. (turn0search12, turn0search11)

2. International Education Stream (IES)

For international students who graduated from Manitoba institutions. Offers a faster path through three pathways:

• Career Employment Pathway – for graduates employed in Manitoba.
• Graduate Internship Pathway – for those completing internships in Manitoba.
• International Student Entrepreneur Pilot (ISEP) – for student entrepreneurs building businesses in the province.
  No job offer is required for certain options. (turn0search5)

3. Business Investor Stream (BIS)

For entrepreneurs and farm investors. Two pathways available:

• Entrepreneur Pathway
  Requires a minimum CAD $500,000 net worth, three years business or senior management experience, CLB 5 language level, Canadian high school equivalency, and submission of a Business Concept and Self-Assessment as an EOI. Successful applicants get a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA) and pay a non-refundable CAD $2,500 processing fee. Following approval, a Business Performance Agreement (BPA) leads to a temporary work permit, progress reporting, and eventual nomination. (turn0search10)
• Farm Investor Pathway
  Tailored to experienced farmers seeking to build or run a farm in Manitoba. Involves a Manitoba visit, self-assessment, and a concept proposal. (turn0search11, turn0search14)
