MPNP : Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program

It’s a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) under this PR Visa Program, SWO (Skilled Workers Overseas) is for people who have close family, friends or distant relatives in Manitoba who can support them in Manitoba. The applicant must attain 60 points to be eligible to apply under this program.

After qualifying under the points’ criteria, the candidate is required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) in the online system of MPNP. The EOI will be valid for one year from the date of submission. The highest ranked candidates will be issued Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA) i.e. invitations to apply with MPNP for nomination. The candidate will have 60 days to submit complete application with MPNP. After receiving nomination from MPNP, the candidate will have to apply for PR with CIC.

Immigration through the MPNP is a three-step process:
