Skilled Worker Overseas Stream

MPNP – Skilled Worker Overseas Stream (Canada’s First PNP)

Applications  for the Manitoba Skilled Worker Overseas Stream are accepted from qualified skilled workers who can demonstrate a strong connection to the province through family or friends (Manitoba Support), past education or employment (Manitoba Experience), or by invitation of the MPNP (Manitoba Invitation)

NOTE: Read about Manitoba Invitation below or on this page https://www.immigratetomanitoba.com/immigrate-to-manitoba/swo/swo-eligibility/  under Manitoba invitation. Success rate is according to five eligibility factors: age, language proficiency, work experience, education and adaptability. This is the main page to determine eligibility and points assessment along with complete and accurate details on Connection (Adaptability) options under support


1. Manitoba Support  
2. Manitoba Experience  
3. Manitoba Invitation (Exploratory visit)

As for Points Assessment it is clearly mentioned the value of Connection to the province under this paragraph line “In addition to demonstrating a strong connection to Manitoba, every candidate who wants to be considered under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream must score at least 60 points based on five factors in order to be eligible. If you do not have a connection to Manitoba, you are not eligible under this stream, regardless of your points total.”

Manitoba Invitation (our focus and our expertise)

The MPNP for Skilled Workers regularly issues Invitations to Apply to qualified candidates who are identified as part of one of our 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.

Recruitment missions

The MPNP regularly travels overseas on recruitment missions, often in partnership with Manitoba employers. Watch this page for news of the next MPNP initiative.

Exploratory Visits

The MPNP accepts – only during set periods – expressions of interest to make an exploratory visit to Manitoba.

What is an MPNP exploratory visit?
An exploratory visit is a pre-arranged trip that potential MPNP applicants may make to the province of Manitoba, Canada to research communities and employment opportunities to help them make an informed decision on whether they have the intention and ability to find employment and settle with their family in Manitoba as permanent residents.

After the MPNP interview included in a pre-approved exploratory visit, we may invite you to submit an MPNP Online application. Note that it is the Letter of Invitation, not the exploratory visit, that establishes a candidate’s requisite Manitoba connection.

The MPNP conducts exploratory visits at our discretion as resources allow in order to provide opportunity for qualified skilled workers, otherwise ineligible for our program, to establish the Connection to Manitoba that is required of all provincial nominee program applicants.

Exploratory visits must be approved by, then arranged through, the MPNP only by invitation following our acceptance of your request.

Exploratory visit itinerary:

Only to candidates whose request is accepted does the MPNP provide instructions on what to do during an exploratory visit and what documents to bring with you (ex: education certificates and experience letters etc). Activities to undertake during an exploratory visit include: meeting with prospective and possible future employers; consulting with occupational regulatory bodies, and exploring housing, school and lifestyle opportunities in your chosen Manitoba community.

To apply to the MPNP with the connection of Manitoba Invitation, you must upload in MPNP Online the Letter of Invitation you received directly from the MPNP after being interviewed by a program officer during a recruitment mission or exploratory visit.
BENEFITS (These benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:)

Note any PNP visa grant guarantees Permanent Residency status in 6-9 months  after nomination is granted.  When you become a permanent resident of Canada, you are entitled to most of the same rights and privileges as a Canadian citizen. Below is a list of a few of these rights:

– You are entitled to equal treatment and equal protection.

– You are entitled to certain legal rights, such as to be presume innocent until proven guilty

– To be provided with an interpreter in the courtroom, if necessary to have a lawyer

– You have the right to enter and exit Canada as you see fit, plus you can move freely from province to province after two years

– You can work and study anywhere you choose in Canada (you cannot hold some high-security government positions, however.)

– Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB)

– Old Age Security, Guaranteed Income Supplement, and Canada Pension Plan

– Universal health care

– Free education

–  Maternity and parental leave

All of these benefits and more become available to you when you are a permanent resident of Canada.  Additionally, being a permanent resident gives you the opportunity to become a Canadian citizen after only three years of living and working in Canada.

Once you become a citizen, you can run for political office, become involved in political activities, and vote in elections. You can also maintain duel-citizenship, so you don’t have to give up citizenship in your home country just to enjoy the benefits of Canadian citizenship.
