About Manitoba PNP

Let’s divide Manitoba’s immigration program into two categories, one is for skilled workers and the other one is for business people. Just want to add here that business people are welcomed everywhere because they not only help boating the economy of any country or province, but they are job creators, not job seekers.

Anyway here are two broad categories: 

1. Skilled workers stream

2. Business investors stream

Skilled workers Stream:
To be eligible for this stream, one must satisfy the local market requirements. Local businesses propose what type of skills are required for their local businesses, and accordingly, the skills listed.

Once you find, your own skillset on the given list, you may proceed, but keep in mind you should have the required number of years of experience to qualify for the same. Qualified people are nominated by Manitoba province for permanent settlement in Canada.
