Skilled Workers in Manitoba: Employer Direct Recruitment Pathway

Manitoba Skilled Worker Immigration

The Skilled Worker categories under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) operate on the basis of an Expression of Interest (EoI) system. In order to be considered for provincial nomination from Manitoba under these categories, the candidates must first submit an Expression of Interest to the MPNP. Each profile will then be awarded a score based on a number of eligibility factors and the highest scoring candidates are invited to apply for provincial nomination in the subsequent Expression of Interest draws.

The Manitoba Skilled Worker immigration has two pathways:
•Skilled Worker in Manitoba category
•Skilled Worker Overseas category
Skilled Workers in Manitoba

Qualified temporary foreign workers and international student graduates currently working in Manitoba can apply for provincial nomination under this category. The candidates must also have a permanent job offer from a Manitoba employer and demonstrate the skills and qualifications to successfully establish themselves in Manitoba. Besides they must also meet certain other criteria set for the Skilled Workers in Manitoba pathway. The Manitoba employers who issue the job offer to the foreign worker must also meet certain criteria.

Canada Provincial Nominee Programs are a great option for Canada migration aspirants, especially those who are less fortunate with Express Entry. Canada PNP might still be an option even if you have low CRS scores. Contact us for more information
