Advantage of the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program for Skilled Workers

For centuries, people from around the world have been immigrating to Manitoba. Now, thanks to the MPNP, Manitoba is attracting immigrants in record numbers.

From young graduates to established professionals with families, why are so many coming to Manitoba? The MPNP Advantage. The MPNP speeds up the immigration process, and the MPNP helps you as you plan for settlement and employment success.

When you apply to the MPNP you are applying directly to the Government of Manitoba. The MPNP selects skilled workers with potential for success based on Manitoba’s economic and social needs. Being “nominated” by Manitoba means receiving a certificate that provides faster processing of your Canadian permanent resident visa.
