Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program
Manitoba is a province in Canada situated at the longitudinal center and is the fifth most populous province. It is the first province in Canada to have a provincial nominee program, known as the Manitoba provincial nominee program, which the government established.
During the initial stages of the Manitoba PNP program, the province nominated only 418 immigrants. However, now, the province aims to welcome over 5,000 immigrants. The MPNP program has stimulated the province's economy, which would have been 30% less without it.
This province also offers beautiful natural features, a high cost of living, low housing costs, and other related things. Due to this, most immigrants from around the world want to immigrate to Manitoba. But they don’t know every step of this immigration process.

How to apply for the Manitoba provincial nominee program?
Candidates must create their profiles in Manitoba’s expression of interest (EOI) system to apply for provincial nominations under Manitoba PNP.
To get a Canada PR visa via Manitoba’s provincial nominee program (MPNP), there are three steps that a candidate needs to follow:
Step 1: The candidate has to make an expression of interest (EOI) when immigrating to the province by answering a series of questions and creating an online profile.
The profiles of the candidates are then scored based on the answers and placed in the Manitoba EOI pool with other eligible candidates.
Candidates are awarded a maximum of 1000 points. How these points are awarded will be discussed later.
Step 2: Based on the points, the highest-scoring candidate will be invited to apply to the MPNP. They will receive a letter of advice to apply (LAA). After receiving the LAA, the candidate will have only 60 days to submit a complete and accurate application to the province of Manitoba.
Step 3: After receiving the nomination from the province, a candidate then submits their complete application with a proper set of documents to IRCC and apply for Canadian permanent residence.
Once you get your provincial nomination as an express entry program candidate, your CRS score receives a major boost of 600 points. Check your updated score with our CRS calculator.
