How Do I Apply For The Skilled Worker Stream in Manitoba?

The Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream (SWM) is centered on Manitoba employers’ specific needs.

SWM chooses foreign-trained workers who have the necessary skills or abilities and nominates them for permanent residency in Canada.

The stream prioritizes candidates with a strong attachment to the province, with two pathways to Manitoba immigration.

(a) Manitoba Work Experience Pathway

For candidates currently working in Manitoba on temporary work permits, as international graduates, or through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program from any province.

Candidates are not required to be working in In-Demand Occupations.

(b) Employer Direct Recruitment Pathway

For internet applicants with job offers from approved Manitoba employers.

How Do I Qualify For The Skilled Worker Overseas Stream?

The Skilled Worker Overseas Stream comprises both a dedicated Canada Express Entry Pathway and a direct provincial pathway.

It’s aimed at foreign skilled workers with experience and training in Manitoba’s In-Demand Occupations.

Applicants and spouses with close family ties are given priority, as well as those who have the necessary language skills, training, and experience to obtain work promptly.

(a) Manitoba Express Entry Pathway

For international candidates that meet Express Entry criteria and have an active Express Entry profile and are eligible under another MPNP stream.

Candidates must have experience, training, and skills in one of Manitoba’s In-Demand Occupations, as well as strong family ties to the province.

(b) Human Capital Pathway

International skilled workers with experience, training, and skills in one of Manitoba’s In-Demand Occupations are encouraged to apply.

Candidates must show that they have the ability to obtain work as soon as they arrive in Manitoba.

What Are The Requirements For the International Education Stream?

International graduates from Manitoba colleges and universities are eligible for the International Education Stream (IES).

Candidates are no longer required to work in their field for six months before filing for an MPNP nomination under IES. It has three pathways:

1) Career Employment Pathway

Eligibility requirements include:

Completed a one-year or longer course from an eligible post-secondary Manitoba institution within three years of submitting the application.

Have a full-time job offer in a Manitoba In-Demand occupation that is relevant to your degree.

A resident of Manitoba.

2) Graduate Internship Pathway

Even if they do not have a job offer in the province, Masters and Doctoral degree holders who have completed Mitacs Accelerate or Elevate internships can apply for nomination through internships.

3) Student Entrepreneur Pathway

Eligibility requirements include:

• Completed a two-year or longer course at a Manitoba post-secondary school that is government approved.
• Six months of business operation experience in Manitoba province.
• Must be a resident of Manitoba since graduation.
• No specific minimum personal net worths requirement.

Some of the Most Important Things You Should Be Prepared For

Note: Candidates invited under the Express System sub-category who do not have a valid Express entry ID, a valid job seeker validation code, and evincible experience in an occupation included on Manitoba’s in-demand occupation list will be rejected.

Candidates’ expressions of interest are not considered by the Manitoba government unless they were invited directly by the MPNP under the Strategic Recruitment Initiative.

It’s possible that your score is greater than the lowest-scoring candidate, but you haven’t obtained the letter of recommendation to apply (LAA).

It could be related to a variety of circumstances, including:

1. You did not provide a valid test number in your EOI, or your test may have expired.

2. You obtained LAA to apply for the MPNP as part of the strategic initiative, but you failed to give the authorities with the valid invitation number.
