Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)

The beautiful Province of Manitoba is often called the “Gateway to Western Canada”. Located in the middle of the country, Manitoba is an open and friendly place with a thriving labour market thanks to its abundant natural resources and agriculture. Canada has a long tradition of welcoming immigrants, and Manitoba is no exception. Winnipeg is perhaps the friendliest major city in the country, and the province is filled with pluralistic communities that are extremely open to new Canadians. People from around the world establish permanent residency in Manitoba, and so can you. The easiest way to immigrate to Manitoba is through the Canada Express Entry immigration system.

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) enables the province to attract the exact immigrants best suited for the local job market. Manitoba recognizes the many benefits skilled immigrants can bring to both the economy and society. For this reason, the Manitoba PNP was established in order to expedite the immigration process for talented individuals who wish to live within the province.

There are two different ways a prospective immigrant can go about applying to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program 2018.

Outside of Express Entry, they can send an Expression of Interest (EOI) directly to Immigration Manitoba. If given a Manitoba nominee certificate from the MPNP, the person can then apply to become a Canada permanent resident using Express Entry by creating a new profile and uploading their credentials.
Alternatively, people interested in immigration to Manitoba through the MPNP can start out by creating a Canada Express Entry profile that formally shows an interest in Manitoba immigration. The Immigration Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program can send the person a Notification of Interest (NOI) via Express Entry, inviting the prospective immigrant to submit an EOI to the program. If given a Manitoba nomination, the potential immigrant’s Express Entry profile will then be instantly credited with the nomination certificate providing him or her with an additional 600 points under the Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System. This significant increase in CRS score should secure the person an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian Permanent Residency during the next Express Entry draw.

There are three categories within the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program 2018.

MPNP categories:

Manitoba Invitation
Manitoba Connection
Business Investor

Applicants in this stream must meet the following requirements:

Be between 21 and 45 years old
Have a connection to Manitoba which is not superseded by a connection to any other province
Be employable and “adaptable”
Have at least a one-year, post-secondary certificate or training certificate
Have at least two years of full-time work experience within the previous five years
Have the ability to find work within Manitoba, including the ability to earn any necessary certifications required for work.
Provide a Settlement Plan detailing a genuine interest in become a permanent resident of Manitoba
Provide General Training IELTS test scores. Test must be taken within the past two years, with a score of at least 5 in each category.

Once invited, the prospective applicant must travel to Manitoba in order to conduct an Exploratory Visit. The individual must research communities and, basically, form a plan for how they will live and work in Manitoba once granted permanent residency.

A successful Manitoba business is both good for the province and good for the business owner. This provincial nominee Manitoba immigration category is for those who want to establish permanent residence in Manitoba for the purpose of either starting their own business or buying an existing one.

There are several requirements the foreign national must meet:

They must have a net worth of at least $350,000 CAD
They must make a minimum investment of $150,000 CAD into the business
They must have an active role in the management of the business
They must intend to live in Manitoba (including all accompanying dependents)

They must have three years of experience running a similar business or experience as senior management in a similar business. If the application is approved, the applicant needs to make a deposit of $75,000 to the government of Manitoba. Then the applicant has two years to establish a business in Manitoba. They have to live in Manitoba while they do this. Once the business is established and permanent residency established, the deposit will be returned (without interest).

The Young Farmer Nominee Program

Similar to starting a business, there is also a Manitoba PNP program business stream for individuals who wish to move to Manitoba and establish a farm. Agriculture is a major driver of Manitoba’s economy, and the province has a stream in place designed for experienced farmers looking to immigrate. This applies to those looking to establish a new farm, purchase an existing farm, or partner with an existing farm.

MPNP Business-farmer applicants must meet the following requirements:

Three years of experience owning or managing a farm
Provide documented assessment of farming opportunities in Manitoba and how they apply to the applicant’s specific situation
A personal net worth of $150,000 CAD
Must make an equity investment of $150,000 within the province
Be under 40 years of age
Have marketable skills that could potentially supplement the farm income. This also applies to a spouse.
Be able to demonstrate their farm and any supplemental income will generate at least $35,000 CAD annually

The applicant must also visit Manitoba for at least seven consecutive days for purposes of exploration. They need to investigate farming and living opportunities. If the application is approved, the applicant must deposit $75,000 in an account controlled by the Manitoba government. Within two years the money will be returned (without interest) if the applicant has purchased and established a farm within the province. The applicant and all dependants must live full-time in Manitoba.

With Manitoba’s natural resources and land conditions, farming is often an excellent opportunity. For farmers around the world who wish to establish residency in Manitoba, this stream is often a great option.
