Why Choose Manitoba for Permanent Residency?
What Is the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)?
The MPNP helps skilled workers, business investors and international students move to Manitoba and become permanent residents of Canada. The program selects people who have the right skills, work experience or education to find jobs and settle in the province.
There are different ways to apply, including routes for workers already in Manitoba, workers from other countries, students who graduated in Manitoba, and business people who want to invest in the province.
How is the MPNP different from federal immigration programs?
Unlike Canada’s federal immigration programs, the MPNP gives Manitoba more control over choosing the skilled workers, graduates and business investors who are likely to succeed in the province.
You join the program through a stream, a specific immigration pathway within the MPNP designed for a type of applicant. Each stream has its own requirements, based on factors like work experience, education and ties to Manitoba.
What Are the Main MPNP Streams?
- Skilled Worker Stream: for people already living and working in Manitoba with a job offer from a local employer (Skilled Worker in Manitoba), and for skilled workers outside Canada who have a connection to Manitoba, such as family, friends, past education or work experience in the province (Skilled Worker Overseas). Overseas applicants can apply even without a job offer.
- International Education Stream: for international students who graduated from a Manitoba college or university. It currently has two pathways: the Graduate Internship Pathway for master's and doctoral graduates, and the International Student Entrepreneur Pilot for graduates who want to run a business. The Career Employment Pathway closed on June 11, 2026.
- Business Investor Stream: for entrepreneurs and investors who want to start or buy a business in Manitoba, or establish a farm. Applicants must show business or farming experience and enough money to invest.
You might also be interested in the Morden Community Driven Immigration Initiative, a program for skilled workers who want to settle in Morden, a small but growing city in Manitoba. Morden looks for workers in specific occupations and offers strong community support for newcomers.
Which MPNP Stream Am I Eligible For?
With multiple pathways available, choosing the right stream can feel overwhelming. The best option depends on your skills, work experience, education and ties to Manitoba. Here is a simple way to find where you might qualify:
- Working in Manitoba with a full-time job offer from your employer? You may qualify for Skilled Worker in Manitoba. This includes Manitoba graduates who have worked at least six months for the employer on a PGWP.
- Outside Canada with family, friends, past study or past work experience in Manitoba? You might be eligible for Skilled Worker Overseas.
- Interested in living in Morden? You might qualify for support through the Morden Community Driven Immigration Initiative.
- A Manitoba graduate who finished a master's or PhD with a Mitacs internship? Look at the Graduate Internship Pathway.
- A Manitoba graduate who wants to start a business? Look at the International Student Entrepreneur Pilot (ISEP).
- A Manitoba graduate with a job offer but under 6 months in the job? The Career Employment Pathway is closed. Build six months of continuous full-time work with your employer and look at Skilled Worker in Manitoba.
- Want to start or invest in a business or farm in Manitoba? Apply through the Business Investor Stream.
Each stream has specific requirements, so check the official MPNP website or consult an immigration expert to find the best fit.
Skilled Worker Stream
If you have work experience and want to make Manitoba your new home, the Skilled Worker Stream can help you become a permanent resident.
What is the Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM) pathway?
This pathway is for people who are already living and working in Manitoba. It suits temporary foreign workers and international student graduates of Manitoba institutions who want to stay in the province permanently. The key requirement is ongoing Manitoba employment: a valid work permit and a full-time, long-term job offer from a Manitoba company after at least six continuous months of full-time work for that company.
- Application fee: CAD $500
- Processing time: The MPNP typically assesses applications within about six months of submission. Delays can occur when more verification is needed.
What are the SWM requirements for temporary foreign workers?
- Have worked in Manitoba full-time for at least 6 continuous months with a valid work permit or post-graduation work permit.
- Have a full-time, long-term job offer from the same employer you have been working for.
- Work for a legally registered Manitoba business that has an established place of business in Manitoba.
- Hold the qualifications for the job (education, training, certification or licence).
- Show the English or French proficiency needed to do the job.
- Prove your connection to Manitoba through your job is stronger than your ties to other Canadian provinces.
- Submit a Settlement Plan showing your intention to live, work and establish your life in Manitoba as a permanent resident.
What are the SWM requirements for international student graduates?
If you studied at a Manitoba post-secondary institution and are working for a Manitoba employer, SWM could be your route to permanent residency. The pathway helps international students who completed their education in Manitoba and gained work experience in the province.
- Have graduated from a public or registered private vocational post-secondary institution in Manitoba, from a full-time program of at least one academic year, and received a diploma, degree or certificate. Language programs are excluded.
- Have worked at least 6 continuous months for the same Manitoba employer.
- Have a valid post-graduation work permit issued by IRCC.
- Be offered a full-time, permanent job by that employer.
- Show your connection to Manitoba is stronger than your ties to other provinces.
- Demonstrate the qualifications and English or French proficiency for the job.
- Submit a Settlement Plan showing you intend to live in Manitoba permanently.
Can graduates of other Canadian provinces apply under SWM?
What work experience does not count toward SWM?
- Self-employment, business ownership, owner-operator status, and work as an independent contractor for the business supporting your application.
- Unauthorized work.
- Employment during full-time study, such as co-op placements.
- Work-study employment.
What must my employer prove?
Your employer must be incorporated or registered in Canada and operate a business with an established production capability, plant or place of business in Manitoba. It must also show the MPNP that it can offer you full-time, long-term employment.
Back to top ↑
Do employer programs affect my SWM options?
Manitoba also runs employer-led programs, such as the Employer Direct Initiative and the Temporary Resident Retention Pilot. The Temporary Resident Retention Pilot changed its eligible sectors on February 4, 2026: hospitality and food services were removed and a number of skilled trades were added.
Workers in affected sectors should reassess their route, often through the standard SWM pathway above. Manitoba also opted into temporary Temporary Foreign Worker Program measures for eligible rural employers (outside the Winnipeg CMA) that run from April 14, 2026 until March 31, 2027.
Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO)
What is the Skilled Worker Overseas pathway?
The Skilled Worker Overseas pathway is designed for skilled workers who have a connection to Manitoba and intend to settle in the province as permanent residents. To be eligible, you must prove a connection to Manitoba through one of the following:
- Support from a family member or close friend living in Manitoba (Manitoba Support).
- Previous education or work experience in Manitoba (Manitoba Experience).
- A direct Invitation to Apply (ITA) from the MPNP through a recruitment initiative (Manitoba Invitation).
In addition to one of these connections, you need at least 60 points on five factors: language proficiency, age, work experience, education and adaptability. Even with a high score, you cannot apply under this pathway without a connection to Manitoba.
- Application fee: CAD $500
- Processing time: typically within about six months, and sometimes longer.
How are SWO points calculated?
| Factor | Maximum points | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Language | 25 | First language CLB 8 or higher = 20, CLB 5 = 14. Second language CLB 5 or higher = 5 |
| Age | 10 | Ages 21 to 45 = 10 |
| Work experience | 15 | One year = 8, two years = 10, three = 12, four or more = 15 |
| Education | 25 | One-year program = 14, two-year program = 20, master’s or doctorate = 25 |
| Adaptability | 25 | Close relative or MPNP invitation = 20, six months’ Manitoba work = 12, Manitoba study of two years or more = 12, friend or distant relative = 10, plus 5 for settling outside Winnipeg |
How Can You Prove a Connection to Manitoba?
What is Manitoba Support (family or friends in Manitoba)?
A Manitoba Supporter is a close relative or friend who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and has lived in Manitoba continuously for at least one year. They must provide documents proving their residency, such as a Manitoba Health Card.
Your Manitoba Supporter must:
- Prove their relationship to you, if they are a relative.
- Show that previous applicants they supported have successfully settled in Manitoba.
- Show sufficiently close ties to you and to Manitoba.
- Be able to support your Settlement Plan.
- A close relative may support more than one skilled worker if they can show they are able to.
- A friend or distant relative’s household must not currently be supporting another MPNP applicant, provincial nominee or person under another Canadian immigration program.
- Your Supporter cannot be a paid immigration representative, a Canadian elected official or their staff, or someone who is not a demonstrated relative or friend.
- Children cannot sponsor their parents under the MPNP. Parents may apply under Canada’s Family Class sponsorship program instead.
- A spouse who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident cannot support an MPNP application. They should apply under Canada’s Spousal Sponsorship category.
- The MPNP is not a sponsorship program. All applicants must be employable and adaptable skilled workers with job-ready English, sufficient settlement funds and a genuine intention to establish themselves in Manitoba.
What is Manitoba Experience?
- Work experience: You must have worked full-time for at least six consecutive months in Manitoba with a valid work permit. You will need a signed letter from your employer on company letterhead and a copy of your work permit.
- Education: You must have completed a full-time program (certificate, diploma or degree) at an authorized post-secondary institution in Manitoba. Language courses (ESL) do not count. You must submit your study permit, transcripts and proof of completion.
What is a Manitoba Invitation?
The MPNP directly invites skilled workers through Strategic Recruitment Initiatives, which include:
- Recruitment Missions: MPNP representatives travel abroad, often with Manitoba employers, to interview skilled workers and select candidates for nomination.
- Exploratory Visits: Candidates visit Manitoba to explore job opportunities, meet potential employers and research communities before applying.
Discuss Your Immigration Options
What Are Exploratory Visits?
An exploratory visit is a pre-arranged trip that potential MPNP applicants can take to Manitoba. The purpose is to explore communities, job opportunities and lifestyle options before deciding whether they have both the intention and ability to settle in Manitoba as permanent residents.
As part of the visit, applicants have an interview with the MPNP. If the interview goes well, they may be invited to submit an MPNP Online application. However, only the official Invitation to Apply, and not the visit itself, establishes a candidate’s connection to Manitoba for immigration purposes.
How do exploratory visits work?
- The MPNP organizes these visits selectively, depending on available resources.
- These visits give skilled workers who would otherwise be ineligible a chance to build the required connection to Manitoba.
- Exploratory visits are by invitation only and must be pre-approved by the MPNP.
What are the eligibility criteria for recruitment missions and exploratory visits?
Criteria are subject to change, but candidates generally must meet the following:
- Age: 21 to 45 years old.
- No stronger ties to another province: You must prove to the MPNP that Manitoba is your top choice.
- Employability and adaptability: You must show you can successfully find work and integrate into Manitoba society.
- Education: At least one year of post-secondary education (diploma, degree or certificate).
- Work experience: At least two years of full-time work in the past five years, along with proof you can find a job in Manitoba, including certification plans for regulated professions.
- Settlement intent: A strong, well-documented Settlement Plan proving your intent and ability to build a future in Manitoba.
- Language: Official language test results (taken within the past two years) showing at least CLB 5 in every category and overall.
If your request for an exploratory visit is approved, the MPNP will give you detailed instructions on how to prepare, along with a list of necessary documents, such as education certificates and employer reference letters.
During your visit, you can meet potential employers, consult regulatory bodies if your profession requires certification, and explore housing, schools and lifestyle options in your chosen Manitoba community.
What should I know before requesting an exploratory visit?
- An exploratory visit alone does not guarantee approval.
- An invitation to apply is not a guarantee of nomination.
- Even if nominated, a permanent resident visa is still subject to approval by the Government of Canada.
How Do You Apply to the Skilled Worker Stream?
What are the steps?
- Create an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile through the MPNP Online portal. This is free. You provide information about your skills, qualifications, work experience and your connection to Manitoba. Based on your profile you receive a score, and the highest-scoring candidates may be invited to apply.
- Receive a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA). This means you have been selected to submit a full application to the MPNP. Draws in 2026 have often targeted specific groups, for example candidates with a strategic recruitment invitation or a Manitoba-supported work permit.
- Submit your full application within 60 days of the LAA date. The application includes detailed documents about your education, work history, language skills and more. The MPNP does not extend the LAA deadline. Pay the CAD $500 application fee when you submit.
- Application assessment. An MPNP officer reviews your application and decides whether you meet all requirements.
- Nomination. If successful, you are nominated by the MPNP.
- Apply for permanent residence. After nomination, you have 180 days to apply to IRCC.
How do I contact the MPNP about my application?
Since March 2, 2026, the MPNP no longer answers inquiries sent directly by email. Use the appropriate webform instead. If your application has a file number, use the Skilled Worker Webform. The MPNP will not provide status updates through the webform. Check your status in your MPNP Online account, and upload additional documents there rather than sending them in.
What are the fees?
| Item | Amount (CAD) |
|---|---|
| EOI | Free |
| MPNP application fee (most pathways, non-refundable) | $500 |
| Business Investor Stream and ISEP | $2,500 (reported; confirm on the official page) |
| Federal PR fees (principal applicant) | Reported as $990 processing plus $600 Right of Permanent Residence Fee after the April 30, 2026 increase. Confirm with IRCC |
Morden Community Driven Immigration Initiative (MCDII)
What is the MCDII?
Morden, a small city in Manitoba, offers the Morden Community Driven Immigration Initiative to help skilled workers immigrate through the MPNP. It supports applicants who may not qualify for the MPNP independently, such as those without personal connections in Manitoba. The initiative gives successful applicants a support letter for the MPNP’s Strategic Initiative Pathway.
Each year, approximately 50 families receive support through MCDII, about 5% of all applications received. There is no cost to apply for Morden’s support.
What are the MCDII eligibility criteria?
- Age: Applicants should be between 21 and 45 years old.
- Education: Completion of a post-secondary education or training program of at least one year, resulting in a diploma, certificate or degree.
- Language: A recent (within 2 years) language test result is required, even for native speakers. Accepted tests are General IELTS, CELPIP and TEF/TCF. The minimum CLB score depends on your occupation:

- TEER 2-3 occupations: minimum CLB 5 in each band.
- TEER 4-5 occupations: minimum CLB 4 in each band.

- Exploratory visit: MCDII requires supported applicants to visit Morden, with some exceptions where it may be waived. Visit costs are your responsibility.
Individuals already living in Morden as temporary foreign workers who meet all other MCDII requirements may also apply.
What are Morden's current priority occupations?
Healthcare professionals
- Physicians (NOC 31102): IELTS 7 in each band and full licensing in the USA, UK, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand.
- Registered Nurses (NOC 31301): IELTS Writing 6.5, Speaking 7, Listening 7, Reading 6.5.
To work in these fields after arrival, you must meet Manitoba’s regulatory requirements. Morden updates its priority list from time to time, and other occupations in its Labour Market Outlook Report are also considered. For full details, visit the official Morden immigration website. Morden asks applicants to correspond by email, not phone, and says it cannot pre-evaluate your qualifications before you apply.
International Education Stream (IES)
What is the International Education Stream?
The International Education Stream helps international students who graduate from designated post-secondary institutions in Manitoba transition to permanent residence more quickly.

- Graduate Internship Pathway: for master's and doctoral graduates who complete a Mitacs Accelerate internship in Manitoba.
- International Student Entrepreneur Pilot (ISEP): for graduates who want to start and operate a business in Manitoba.
The Career Employment Pathway, which supported graduates with long-term skilled jobs, was closed on June 11, 2026.
Students who graduate from institutions outside Manitoba are not eligible for this stream. They may still qualify under Skilled Worker in Manitoba, after working for their Manitoba employer for at least one year.
Is the Career Employment Pathway still open?
- Graduation within the past 3 years from a designated Manitoba institution, in a full-time program of at least one year (two semesters).
- At least CLB 7 in English or French.
