Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program
Most immigrants to Manitoba come as provincial nominees
What’s the Manitoba PNP
On October 22, 1996, the government of Canada and Manitoba signed the Provincial Nominee Agreement, which was introduced in 1998 with the first nominees arriving in 1999.
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) seeks skilled workers, businesspeople and their families with the intention and ability to successfully settle and economically establish in Manitoba as permanent residents.
Notes
Manitoba’s PNP provides channels for two-step migration. Once a TFW has been in the province for six months, he may apply for permanent resident status.
Submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) is the first step to immigration to Manitoba through the MPNP. If you are eligible under one of our application streams, you will be able to submit an Expression of Interest.
Application Fees
Business Stream: $2,500
