How do I qualify for the craftsman in Manitoba Stream?
The Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream (SWM) is based on the specific needs of employers in Manitoba. SWM selects foreign-trained employees with the required skills and nominates them for permanent residency in Canada. The stream prioritizes candidates with a strong attachment to Manitoba, with two paths to immigration in Manitoba.
a) Work Experience Program in Manitoba
For applicants currently working in Manitoba on a temporary work permit, through the Temporary Foreign Workers Program or as international graduates from any province. Candidates do not have to work in high demand professions.
b) Recruitment process for direct employers
For overseas applicants with job openings from approved employers in Manitoba.
How do I qualify for the Skilled Worker Overseas Stream?
The Skilled Worker Overseas Stream (SWO) includes both a dedicated Canada Express Entry Pathway and a direct provincial path.
It targets internationally skilled workers with skills and training in Manitoba’s in-demand occupations. Priority is given to applicants and spouses with close family ties, plus the language skills, education and experience to find a job quickly.
a) Manitoba Express Access Route
For international candidates who are eligible for another MPNP stream, who also meet the Express Entry criteria and have an active Express Entry profile. Candidates need skills, training and experience in one of Manitoba’s in-demand occupations and a strong family connection to the province.
b) Human Capital trajectory
For internationally skilled workers with skills, training and experience in one of Manitoba’s in-demand occupations. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to find employment soon after arriving in Manitoba.
What are the requirements for the international education stream?
The International Education Stream (IES) is for international graduates of Manitoba colleges and universities. Under IES, candidates are no longer required to work in their field for six months before applying for an MPNP nomination. It has three routes:
1) Career trajectory
Eligibility requirements include:
- Completed a course of one year or more from an eligible post-secondary institution in Manitoba within three years of application submission.
- Have been offered a full-time job in a Manitoba In-Demand profession related to the degree completed
- Native of Manitoba
2) Internship program for graduates
Master’s and doctorate degree holders who have completed Mitac’s Accelerate or Elevate internships can apply through internships even without a job offer in the province.
3) Student entrepreneurial trajectory
Eligibility requirements include:
- Completed a course of two years or more from an eligible post-secondary institution in Manitoba
- Six months of corporate experience in Manitoba
- Resident of Manitoba since graduation.
- No specific minimum personal wealth requirement
