Canada PNP program was specifically designed for skilled workers who not just wanted to immigrate to Canada but also wanted to settle in a Canadian Province as a Canada PR with the requirement that they had the education, skills, and experience for the designated occupation that will contribute to the economy of that particular province or territory.

In 1998, Manitoba became the first province to adopt the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). It is crucial for the province to market itself to talented immigrants as a desirable place to live.

How does the Manitoba PNP work?

Here is how the Manitoba PNP process works:

  • Creating an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile is the first step.
  • For the most qualified candidates with a Manitoba connection, a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA) allowing them to submit an MPNP application will be issued.
  • Applicants are meticulously evaluated by MPNP officers.
  • Qualified candidates are recommended by the MPNP.

Within 180 days of the date of nomination, apply for a permanent residence visa for yourself and your family with the Government of Canada.
