What are the requirements for Manitoba’s Occupation In-Demand Stream?
Most of the in-demand occupations are limited to specifically skilled streams of Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP). Candidates are required to meet the requirements of these skilled streams. Candidates who are working in an in-demand occupation will be given priority in the Expression of Interest (EOI) draws.
For a Francophone (one who has French language proficiency is equal to or greater than their English language proficiency), they do not need to work in an in-demand occupation to meet the MPNP pathway’s eligibility criteria. Their language proficiency result must be supported by a Manitoba PNP-approved language test.
Under the language proficiency requirements, Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) levels generally are very low. But for some streams/pathways, it has higher eligibility requirements. For International Education Stream minimum CLB level 7 is required in all four skill areas (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening) regardless of their occupation.
