Canadian Immigration – Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)

The current economy at Manitoba is in need of skilled workers, trade persons, and professionals. The Government of Manitoba has also declared that if the situation remains the same, we will face a labor shortage of around 20,000 skilled workers by 2020.

To overcome this threat, the government of Manitoba introduced its own Canadian immigration program for immigration of skilled workers within the province. Manitoba is the first ever province in Canada to have such a system at the provincial level. This program is called Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)

MPNP has made it possible to accommodate around 15000 candidates of Canadian immigration to successfully immigrate to Manitoba. As a result of this immigration of foreign skilled workers, Manitoba has seen a positive change in the economy and labour needs.

As per the results of a survey, 85% of the total foreign skilled workers who came to Canada under Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) were having jobs within 3 months of their arrival whereas 76% of them were house owners within five years of their arrival in Canada. 95% of these families are now permanently settled in Canada.
