Streams under Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program
There are a number of streams under Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. To receive an invitation to apply for provincial nomination from Manitoba, an immigration candidate must first submit an Expression of Interest to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. Each EoI profile submitted in this manner will be assessed on the basis of various eligibility factors such as age, education, work experience etc., and awarded a score out of 1000. Those with the highest scores will receive invitations to apply for provincial nomination from Manitoba.
Both the Skilled Workers Overseas stream and the Skilled Workers in Manitoba stream are designed to meet the labour market needs of the province. To receive an invitation under the Skilled Workers Overseas stream, the candidates must demonstrate previous connections to the province in the form of close family ties, previous study or work experience in the province or an invitation issued through one of the Strategic Recruitment Initiatives of Manitoba.
At the same time, to receive an invitation under the Skilled Workers in Manitoba stream, candidates must have a full-time job offer from a provincial employer.
International graduates can receive provincial nomination through International Education Stream of Manitoba if they have skills that are in demand in Manitoba.
