About MPNP Program 2026

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program provides an accessible pathway for Canada permanent residency visa seekers from India targeting the province’s growing economy in manufacturing, information technology, and healthcare sectors. As part of Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program framework, this initiative prioritizes candidates with genuine Manitoba connections through its Expression of Interest system, offering strategic advantages for Delhi skilled workers pursuing Manitoba permanent residency from India via Skilled Worker Overseas, Skilled Worker in Manitoba, and International Education streams.

Renowned for its approachable minimum sixty-point threshold out of one hundred, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program evaluates applicants across language proficiency at Canadian Language Benchmark level four or higher, relevant work experience in in-demand occupations, post-secondary education credentials, age factors favoring applicants aged twenty-one to forty-five, and strong settlement connections like family ties or prior provincial work experience. Indian professionals benefit from regular draws targeting National Occupational Classification TEER zero to three roles, particularly those holding Letters of Advice to Apply through employer referrals or close relative invitations, positioning Manitoba as a welcoming prairie province for permanent residency success.

Eligibility Criteria of MPNP 2026

  1. Age – You can score a maximum of 20 points if you’re between 20-32 years old. Points gradually decrease until you hit 45+, where you get zero points for the Skilled Worker Overseas stream. But don’t worry – if you’re working in Manitoba already (Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream), they stay flexible up to age 50. Recent grads through International Education? Age barely matters if you have a solid job offer.
  2. Occupation – Your job needs to be on Manitoba’s in-demand occupations list, which covers National Occupational Classification TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 skilled roles. They’re especially hungry for truck drivers, welders, nurses, software developers, and customer service reps right now. Check their latest list – if you’re in manufacturing, IT, healthcare, or trades, you’re golden.
  3. Work Experience – Need just 6 months of continuous full-time work if you’re already in Manitoba (Skilled Worker in Manitoba). For overseas applicants, it’s 360 days total if you have a Letter of Advice to Apply. Recent grads? No work experience needed at all if you land an indefinite job offer from a Manitoba employer through International Education.
  4. Education – One-year diploma, bachelor’s degree, or higher for Skilled Worker Overseas (get it assessed through Educational Credential Assessment). Working in Manitoba? High school diploma works fine if you’ve got relevant experience. International Education grads need completion from a Designated Learning Institution.
  5. English Language Proficiency – Minimum Canadian Language Benchmark level 5 if applying through close relatives, but aim for Canadian Language Benchmark level 7 for the general Skilled Worker Overseas stream. Use IELTS General or CELPIP General – results good for 2 years.
  6. Points Test – Hit 60 out of 100 points minimum on their grid: up to 25 for language, 15 for work experience, 25 for education, 20 for age, and 20 for adaptability (Manitoba family ties, friends, previous visits, or employer support). That’s the magic number to get invited!
  7. Skills Assessment – Foreign degrees need Educational Credential Assessment. Regulated jobs (nurses, engineers, trades) need Manitoba licensing body approval. Most IT and business roles just need degree equivalence.
  8. Health and Character Requirements – Everyone needs medical exams from Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada-approved doctors. Police clearance from India (Passport Seva) plus anywhere you lived 6+ months since age 18. No criminal record issues allowed.
