Eligibility

 

Are you the kind of skilled worker Manitoba needs?

To qualify to apply to our program, you must be a skilled worker who can make an immediate economic contribution to the Province of Manitoba.

A skilled worker has specialized education, training and work experience in their occupation. In Manitoba, skilled workers can receive excellent salaries and benefits.

 

There are two pathways to Manitoba

• Skilled Workers in Manitoba
  Applications are accepted from qualified temporary foreign workers and international student graduates who are currently working in Manitoba and have been offered a permanent job with their Manitoba employer.
• Skilled Workers Overseas
  Applications are accepted from qualified skilled workers who can demonstrate a strong connection to the province through family or friends, past education or employment, or by invitation of the MPNP, and be assessed sufficient points for five eligibility factors – age, English proficiency, work experience, education and adaptability.
