INTRODUCTION
How to immigrate to Manitoba, Canada
Thank you for choosing Manitoba. These guidelines
explain how to apply to the Manitoba Provincial
Nominee Program (MPNP) for Skilled Workers to be
nominated for permanent resident status in Canada.
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program is an
economic program that selects skilled workers who
have the potential to make a positive contribution to
the provincial economy.
Applications to the MPNP are assessed under five
dierent assessment streams according to the type
and strength of connection applicants have to the
province of Manitoba. MPNP eligibility criteria are
described in the section Am I Eligible to Apply? as
well as in the section for each assessment stream.
Please read all the application guidelines carefully
before you apply.

There is no fee required to apply to the MPNP. The


government of Manitoba has the sole authority to
nominate applicants for permanent resident status in
Canada, based on our assessment of your potential for
success in Manitoba as an independent skilled worker.
If you are nominated by the government of
Manitoba, you must then apply for Canadian
permanent resident status. The MPNP will provide
you with instructions explaining how to apply. You
must pay the required Government of Canada
immigration fees and meet statutory requirements
for medical and criminal admissibility. The
Government of Canada has the final authority to
issue a permanent resident visa.
Thank you for your interest in Manitoba as your
immigration destination in Canada.

All the forms you need to apply to the MPNP are


included in this application kit. If application criteria
or application forms have been updated since
the publication of this booklet, you will find
the most current information on our website at
immigratemanitoba.com.

This MPNP application kit is provided free by the government of Manitoba and is not to be sold to applicants.

SECTION 1:

AM I ELIGIBLE TO APPLY?
Answer the questions below to find out if you are
eligible to apply to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee
Program for Skilled Workers (MPNP).
1. Do I have legal status in my country of residence?
Do you have proof that you have legal status in
the country where you are now living? You are not
eligible to apply if you are now a refugee claimant or
a refused refugee claimant living in Canada. You may
apply from outside of Canada if you have proof of
legal status in your country of residence.
2. Am I a skilled worker who is employable in
Manitoba?
You need proof of training (including any required
licence or certification), work experience and
language ability to find employment in your assessed
occupation in Manitoba soon after you arrive. Your
assessed occupation is the occupation under which
an MPNP program ocer assesses your application
based on your training and main work experience.
The MPNP accepts applications in any occupation
where individuals satisfactorily demonstrate their
employability in their assessed occupation in Manitoba.
The MPNP will assess your employability in your
assessed occupation based on:
your documented education, training,
work experience and language skills
the current demand and potential for
long-term employment in your assessed
occupation in Manitoba
current description of duties, skills, talents
and work settings in the Canadian economy,
described in the National Occupational
Classification (NOC)
your transferable skills to other related
occupations with equal/similar skill levels

NOTE: Receiving approval under the MPNP does not


mean that you can immediately start working in your
assessed occupation once you arrive in Manitoba. You
may need to have your qualifications, education and
experience assessed when you arrive in the province.
For more information on regulated occupations and
qualifications recognition in Manitoba, visit the Work in
Manitoba section of immigratemanitoba.com.
3. Do I meet the eligibility criteria for one of the
MPNP assessment streams?
MPNP applicants must demonstrate a genuine
intention and ability to settle successfully in
Manitoba. The MPNP has four priority assessment
streams and a General stream based on the type of
connection applicants have to Manitoba. Priority
assessment streams are designed for applicants
who can demonstrate the strongest potential to
settle successfully and permanently in Manitoba.
Applications accepted under a priority assessment
stream will be assessed before applications accepted
under the General stream. To find out if you are
eligible to apply under one of the assessment
streams, refer to the tables in the following pages.

NOTE: No Application Deadline


There is no deadline for applying to the Manitoba
Provincial Nominee Program. However, program
criteria may change without notice and your
application will be assessed according to the criteria in
place at the time we receive your complete application.

The MPNP reserves the right to assess the


employability of any applicant in their assessed
occupation on a case-by-case basis.

4. Do I have sucient settlement supports?


The MPNP is not a sponsorship program. To be
nominated, you must be able to demonstrate your
ability to successfully settle in Manitoba as a skilled
worker.
You are eligible to apply to the MPNP only if you can
provide evidence of financial resources in your own
name demonstrating that you are able to:
pay your Government of Canada immigration
fees and travel expenses to Manitoba
support yourself while you are looking for
employment
ensure your successful settlement in
Manitoba
As a general requirement, you should have at least
$10,000 Cdn, plus $2,000 Cdn for each accompanying
dependant. You can demonstrate that you have
sucient settlement funds in your name by including
the following documents with your application:

original or notarized copies of bank


statement(s) and certificate(s) of deposit(s)

assets (not including personal items such
as jewelry, furniture or vehicles) owned by
applicant or spouse/common-law partner,

If there are currency controls in your country
of residence, the MPNP may require proof of
transferability of settlement funds. In all cases, you
must provide evidence of some settlement funds in
your name. Additional information about settlement
funds requirements can be found under each stream
in the Self Assessment section.

5. Do I have a complete application with all required


forms and documents?
If you meet all eligibility criteria, you must provide all
required forms and documents described in one of
our document checklists (MDOC) for yourself and for
all of your accompanying dependants. The MPNP will
not accept incomplete applications.
6. Who can be included in my application?
Manitoba values the contribution that family units
can make to the economic development of our
province and encourages the inclusion of eligible
family members in your application to the MPNP.
Eligible family members included in your application
are called accompanying dependants.
Eligible accompanying dependants include:
your spouse (legal marriage or at least one
year of common-law partnership*)

children under age 18 of whom you have


legal custody and who are either your
biological or adopted children, or those of
your spouse or common-law partner

adult children who are:


- under age 22 and not married or in a
common-law relationship
- over age 22 and not financially
independent due to a physical or mental
condition
- over age 22 and pursuing full-time
academic, professional or vocational
training

* A fianc(e) is not a dependant for purposes

of immigration. If your fianc(e) intends to


accompany you to Manitoba and you are not
getting married before you apply to the MPNP, he/
she will need to fill out his/her own application and
qualify as a principal applicant.

Please note that you must be able to show enough


settlement funds for all family members that you
include in your MPNP application.
If your children do not meet the above criteria, but
want to come to Manitoba with you, they can still
apply to the MPNP program. They must submit a
separate application at the same time as you and
indicate they are connected to your application.

This MPNP application kit is provided free by the government of Manitoba and is not to be sold to applicants.

Please note the following:


All existing dependants must be declared to the
MPNP before you are nominated.
New dependants, after you have been nominated
(such as a newborn), must be declared to the MPNP
and the Government of Canada visa oce before
you and your dependants are issued permanent
resident visas, whether they are accompanying
you to Canada or not. If you do not declare new
dependants, and they do not undergo medical
examinations, you may not be able to sponsor them
in the future.

If your dependants are not accompanying you


to Canada at this time, you will need to apply
separately to sponsor them through a Government
of Canada sponsorship program after you settle in
Manitoba. (Note: The MPNP cannot assist you with
a sponsorship application.)
Children who meet the criteria for adult dependant
at the time you receive nomination from the
province and later change their status (get married,
stop/complete their university education, have
children, etc.) cannot be included in your application
for permanent resident status at a visa oce,
and will likely be withdrawn from your MPNP
application. Please note that the MPNP will not
issue certificates for those individuals after you
received nomination, unless they meet the criteria
of one of the MPNP streams.

This MPNP application kit is provided free by the government of Manitoba and is not to be sold to applicants.

number and assigned to the appropriate stream.
A MPNP program ocer assesses your application
based on how your information matches the

assessment. Once a decision has been finalized, you
