Manitoba Invitation
The MPNP for Skilled Workers regularly issues Invitations to Apply to qualified candidates who are identified as part of one of the provinces’ Strategic Recruitment initiatives in Manitoba and overseas. Issuance of an Invitation to Apply is at the sole discretion of the MPNP and applicants cannot self-select for eligibility with this connection to our province.
The MPNP for Skilled Workers is locally driven and based on the needs of Manitoba employers. The program selects internationally trained and experienced workers who have the skills needed in the local labour market and nominate them to receive Canadian permanent resident visas to settle and work in Manitoba.
It nominates applicants who have a strong connection to the province and sufficient skills, education and training, work experience and official language proficiency to make an immediate and ongoing contribution to the Manitoba economy and our community at large.
All applicants must submit a Settlement Plan, to explain their plan for settling in Manitoba successfully and contributing economically. Upon nomination, the province provides resources to help you put your plan into action toward achieving your goals.
The MPNP for Skilled Workers empowers you to take charge of your success, with a guided application process and, after nomination, pre-arrival planning tools to help you fast-track your entry in the Manitoba workforce in a job that matches your skills and experience.

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Business Investor Stream
The Province of Manitoba and Government of Canada share responsibilities regarding business people immigrating to Canada through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Immigration Program for Business. However, Manitoba’s agreement with the Government of Canada limits the number of immigrants that we may nominate each year. Given this limitation, Manitoba will select the applicants who best meet the qualifications and who offer the most to Manitoba.
The renewed Entrepreneur Pathway for business allows Manitoba to recruit, select, and nominate qualified business people from around the world who have the intent and ability to move to Manitoba and establish or purchase a business or become partners in an existing business within the first 24 months of arrival in Canada on a temporary work permit. Applicants are no longer required to submit a deposit to the Manitoba Government. To find out if you are eligible under any of the Manitoba PnP categories, please click here
