As we all know the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program is an effort by the Manitoba’s provincial government’s that allows international skilled workers to enter the province and settle there. In a way it helps local employers in Manitoba to hire the skills that they need to fill up job positions when they find the local Canadian workers lack the required skills.

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program also makes it easier for foreign nationals to obtain the permanent residence status in Canada. This program allows individuals to settle themselves in Manitoba under a number of streams. There are streams for international students, family members and individuals who have already been working temporarily in Manitoba. Different streams, as a matter of fact, require applicants to meet different requirements.

In order to be eligible to apply for the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program, individuals must produce the proof of their lawful status in the nation where they are residing/living at the time of filing MPNP applications. Even if they are in Canada as visitors, students or temporary workers, they must produce their immigration status. Individuals who await a refugee claim hearing or if they have been refused such a claim are not eligible to apply for the program.

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program also requires applicants to produce the evidence of their financial assets. In other words, all MPNP applicants must sufficient funds to support themselves in Canada. Usually, the MPNP allows an individual to apply who has a fund of minimum 10,000 dollars (Canadian dollar), and 2,000 dollars (Canadian dollar) for each dependant accompanying him/her to Manitoba.
