Canada has, perhaps, the most unique and beneficial Provincial Nominee Programme (PNP) duly introduced to cater to the specific needs of business professionals. It is, by and large, a business friendly country and has a growing and stable economy.

Significantly, the ‘Land of Milk and Honey’ has been ranked fifth on the World Happiness report. Does one need to say more about the country? The adjective also says much about the highly developed nation.

Coming back to the PNP, under the country’s PNP, business professionals– who wish to migrate to the nation and do well on the world stage professionally–may submit an application in order to be nominated by the specific state/territory. And once the candidate meets with the required criteria, he will be nominated by the specific state/territory. Post nomination, he can live and work in the nominated state/province.

Candidates, with the ability and skill to actively contribute towards the province’s economy, are regarded highly valuable and are more than welcome to make the province their home. Manitoba is keen to greet them and offer them the prized Permanent Residence (PR) status, provided of course; they meet with the mandatory terms and conditions for the same.

As it is too well known, Manitoba is a quite popular Canadian province and located in central part of the nation even as the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Programme for Business professionals is even more well-liked and accepted, especially among those who wish to call Canada their second home and live there. Frankly speaking, Manitoba is an ideal place either to start a business venture, own a partnership in an existing business or to buy farm.

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Programme for Business professionals

Now let’s have a clear understanding of the programme!

It is basically best suited for those who are eager to start afresh in the Manitoba Province. It proffers endless and rewarding opportunities to those with the ability to contribute towards the province’s economy and help it grow further.

In other circumstances, immigrating to Manitoba can be a really difficult task, but if you have a prior job offer it can be an easy and smooth cakewalk to your dream destination.

In the first week of February this year, the Manitoba PNP introduced Expression of Interest (EOI) system for the year 2015. The number of applications is restricted to 5,500. So the early you submit your application more are the chances of making the cut. Early birds get all the worms, right?

Business people need to create an online profile even as each applicant will be suitably assessed against other candidates on the basis of the Adaptability Assessment Matrix (AAM). The MPNP-B will select only those candidates who are firm, either to start a new or invest in an existing business venture and actively perform day-to-day managerial activity. They may also bring along their family members to the region.

Applicants selected for the object of nomination must submit a good faith deposit of CDN $00,000. Once the applicant successfully meets with the set terms and conditions of their Deposit Agreement, the good faith deposit will be refunded, without any interest though.

These are the main requirements:

• The applicant must have at least CAD$350,000 obtained legally.
• He must agree to invest CAD$150,000 in various tangible assets, such as, for instance, buildings, furniture, computers, machinery, land and fixtures. Anyhow personal investment will not be considered as a part of business investment.
• To qualify and make the cut, applicant must score at least 60 points on the AAM.
• He must have at least three years of experience of managing a business venture or else must have one year of experience of working at the executive level.

If you have made a prior visit to the Manitoba Province, Canada within six months from the date of submitting your application you will be granted some extra points.
