Provincial Nominee Program(MPNP)
1st province to establish its own immigration program
That is why Manitoba was the first Canadian province to establish its own, ongoing immigration program, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP). The MPNP is locally driven and based on the needs of Manitoba employers. The MPNP selects internationally trained and experienced workers who have the skills needed in the local labour market, and nominates them to receive Canadian permanent resident visas to settle and work in Manitoba.
15,000 immigrants arrive in Manitoba yearly
Each year, some 15,000 immigrants arrive in Manitoba. The outcomes for internationally experienced workers who immigrate through the MPNP are postive. According to a recent survey, 85 per cent of Manitoba nominees were working three months after arrival, 76 per cent were homeowners within five years and 95 per cent of families settled permanently in the community.
The province offers an affordable, high-quality lifestyle
The key to the success of the MPNP is the consistently strong and stable economy in the Canadian province of Manitoba. The diversity of Manitoba’s growing industries and economic sectors keeps our unemployment rate low. Good wages, safe working conditions, generous benefits and workers’ rights are some of the highlights of working in Manitoba. Plus, with Manitoba’s low cost of living, and high standard of government services such as health care and education, the province offers an affordable, high-quality lifestyle.
In Manitoba’s high-powered economy, skilled workers, tradespeople and professionals are in demand.
In fact, the Government of Manitoba projects a labour shortage of over 20,000 skilled workers by 2020
To qualify to apply to the MPNP you must be a skilled worker who can make an immediate economic contribution to the Province of Manitoba.
