Major changes to Manitoba immigration program

 As of may 2004, Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) has gone under major changes and includes many classes. However still if you have job offer or relative in Manitoba, you will have highest chances of getting nomination. Applicants to the MPNP may apply under any one of 6 different assessment streams depending on the type and strength of their connection to the Province of Manitoba. Each Assessment Stream has its own specific eligibility criteria.

Here is a brief description of each stream:

1.  Employer Direct Stream: for applicants with a pre-approved guaranteed offer of employment from an employer who has a prior agreement with the MPNP to issue job offers to applicants, or for applicants currently working full-time in Manitoba with a permanent job offer.

2.  International Student Stream: for applicants who have graduated from a post-secondary education program in Manitoba, have a job offer related to their field of studies and have been issued a post-graduation work permit allowing them to work in Manitoba.

3.  Family Support Stream: for applicants with sufficient training, work experience, and language ability who have close family members in Manitoba who have completed and signed an MPNP Affidavit of Support Form.

4.  Community Support Stream: for applicants with sufficient training, work experience, and language ability who have a Letter of Support from an organization has a Community Support Agreement with the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program.

5.  Strategic Recruitment Initiative: for applicants with sufficient training, work experience, and language ability who meet the requirements of current recruitment initiatives and who have received an Invitation to Apply letter from the MPNP.

6.      General Stream: for applicants with sufficient training, work experience, language ability, and with evidence of close relatives in Manitoba, or family-like support from friends or distant relatives in Manitoba, or previous education or previous work experience in Manitoba. Applicants must score sufficient points for consideration and demonstrate their ability to establish successfully in Manitoba.

The MPNP seeks qualified workers and business people with a strong likelihood of becoming successfully established in Manitoba, including those who otherwise may not qualify under Canada's immigration criteria. It offers qualified workers and business people an opportunity to be assessed as candidates who might be of significant benefit to the province’s economic development.

There are two categories of immigrants under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. One is Skilled Workers and the other is Business Immigrants. Under the MPNP for skilled workers, Manitoba screens and nominates prospective immigrants who demonstrate that they have the skills and experience to establish successfully in this province.  If you are a skilled worker and are interested in living and working in Manitoba, you have the best chance of being nominated if:

  • You have sufficient training and work experience in your occupation;
     
  • You have sufficient language ability to begin working soon after arrival;
     
  • You have a pre-approved job offer consistent with your training and experience; and
     
  • You have settlement supports in Manitoba to assist you upon your arrival.

If Manitoba nominates you, a Certificate of Nomination will be issued. You can then apply for a permanent resident visa through CIC. You must still meet the Canadian statutory requirements (medical examination, security and criminal checks) and CIC has the final authority to approve or refuse your application.
