Manitoba PNP - Skilled worker immigration stream

There are two categories in the Skilled Worker Immigration Stream:-

     1. Skilled worker overseas

People that live overseas and are looking to move to Canada can apply for eligibility under the MPNP stream. They have to already have an express entry profile as well as knowing someone close to them (either a friend or family member) that already resides in Manitoba and has done so for a minimum period of 12 months. They must agree to and confirm their support to the person applying for the Manitoba PNP . Those that are able to provide proof of their skills, finances to show they have enough to match the amount a person would earn on the lowest pay within Canada to support them for at least 6 months. To be eligible they must be entering under this stream to take on work on a full time permanent basis for a job role that is in demand.

     2. Skilled worker in Manitoba

Applicants wishing to work in Manitoba but currently live there can also apply for permanent residency under the provincial nominee program for Canada Immigration.  As with skilled workers overseas they must also be able to prove that they have the necessary income and expertise to be an asset to the community and economy. Eligible applicants include temporary foreign workers who have valid and supported permits, international students in Canada that are outside of the Manitoba province currently in employment that is not on the in demand list of occupations.

The Manitoba PNP applicants must have also received a permanent job offer for one of the Manitoba in demand occupations and have 6 months expertise of working in Manitoba. Alternatively they must prove that they have received Canadian qualifications that will be able to help meet the demands for occupations on the list with 12 months prior expertise within Manitoba working in a similar field or be temporary workers within Manitoba that are not on the in demand list but have 12 months expertise as well as either a valid LMIA or LMIA exempt work permit.
