Labour Market in Manitoba
Manitoba is one of the western provinces of Canada that is booming with new economic activities. The demography of the province is ageing. The Canadian workforce is now more dependent on foreign skilled to apply for Canada immigration due to a lack of native talents.

How to Immigrate to Canada through Provincial Nominee Program
Interested applicants are required to register their Expression of Interest (EOI) with the province. Further, the registered profile is evaluated and ranked out of 1,000 points for their human capital factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, as well as their connections to the province.
This will potentially qualify them for receiving LAAs through the Skilled Workers in Manitoba, Skilled Workers Overseas streams or International Education Stream.
Qualify For The Skilled Worker Overseas Stream
The Skilled Worker Overseas Stream (SWO) includes both a dedicated Canada Express Entry Pathway and a direct provincial pathway.
| Priority is given to Immigrant Applicants with close family connections, or language proficiency, training, and experience to find jobs quickly |
- a) Manitoba Express Entry Pathway: For international candidates who have an active Express Entry profile & wish to qualify for provincial nomination. However, having a successful provincial nomination will guarantee an invitation to apply for Canada immigration by virtue of 600 additional CRS points.
- b) Human Capital Pathway: For international skilled workers with skills, training, and experience in one of Manitoba’s In-Demand Occupations.
Qualify For The Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream
The Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream (SWM) is based on the specific needs of Manitoba employers.
- a) Manitoba Work Experience Pathway: For applicants currently working in Manitoba on temporary work permits, through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, or as international graduates from any province.
- b) Employer Direct Recruitment Pathway: For applicants from overseas with job offers from approved Manitoba employers.
Requirements For the International Education Stream
The International Education Stream (IES) is for international graduates from Manitoba colleges and universities. The criteria to work for at least six months in their field before applying for an MPNP nomination no longer apply here.
It has three pathways:
- a) Career Employment Pathway: Completed a one-year or longer course from an eligible post-secondary Manitoba institution and have a full-time job offer in a Manitoba In-Demand occupation related to the completed degree.
- b) Graduate Internship Pathway: Masters and Doctoral degree holders who have completed Mitacs Accelerate or Elevate internships can apply for nomination through internships even without a job offer in the province.
- c) Student Entrepreneur Pathway: Completed a two-year or longer course from an eligible post-secondary Manitoba institution and have six months of business operation experience in Manitoba. The best part is no specific minimum personal net worth requirement is mandated.
Last year, Manitoba crossed over 11,000 provincial nominations. The province is expecting to increase the target in 2022. Visit a certified immigration consultant to kick-start your immigration process with confidence!
