Your employment opportunities are infinite here, since it is a great location to find different job vacancies, do business, and more. The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is accepting applications from qualified foreign employees, recent graduates, business people, and their families. The MPNP for skilled employees chooses individuals who have received foreign training and have expertise in the local job market.

Applicants who have a link to Manitoba through their job, education, training, work experience, and language abilities are nominated here.

Applicants are nominated based on a documented relationship to Manitoba, as evidenced by:
