This page is for workers who wish to apply to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. Information for Manitoba employers is in the For Employers section of this website.
Employer Direct is a
MPNP priority assessment stream that helps foreign workers who have been working in Manitoba for at least six months, reside permanently within the province.
Under this stream you can apply to immigrate to Manitoba on the strength of a long-term, full-time job offer from a Manitoba employer. Once the employer provides you with the job offer, you can include it with your
MPNP application.
To be considered for nomination you must demonstrate that you have:
- a formal offer of long-term, full-time job with a Manitoba employer*
- the training, work experience and language ability required for the job you have been offered (including any licence or certification required in your country of residence)
- the intention and the ability to settle permanently in Manitoba
How to apply to the MPNP Employer Direct priority assessment stream
Mail or drop off a complete
MPNP application to our office in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. You must include in your
MPNP application the following documents (For more information see the MDOC EMPLOYER form.):
a detailed employment offer on company letterhead and signed by a company official. This letter must be addressed to you and include your name, the job title, salary/wage rate and a description of duties and responsibilities.
a copy of your valid work permit that was issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
Successful applicant applies for Canadian permanent resident visa.
We will send you a Letter of Approval and instructions on how to apply for your permanent resident visa at the Canadian embassy, high commission, consulate or visa office in your country of residence.
People who are currently working in Manitoba on a temporary work permit may apply at the Canadian Consulate General in Buffalo, New York.
Provincial nominee may work here while waiting for permanent resident visa.
If you have been nominated by the
MPNP you may be eligible to apply to the Government of Canada for a temporary work permit to begin (or continue) working in Manitoba while your application for a permanent resident visa is being processed. We will give you a supporting letter.
NOTE: Receiving a temporary work permit does not guarantee that you will receive a permanent resident visa.
MPNP applicants should not sell property or make other permanent decisions regarding their assets until they have received their permanent resident visa.
