Manitoba PNP – Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program

Points are based on individual Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) band scores for Reading Writing, Listening and Speaking, based on the equivalency of your IELTS, CELPIP, TEF and/or TCF test results.

Points are based on your age at the time your Expression of Interest is submitted to the MPNP.

Points are based on years of full-time work experience. Full-time is defined as 30 hours or more each week for one employer. Count full years of work experience; do not round up your work experience (For example, if you worked 7 months, you would have to answer less than 1).

You can claim 100 additional points for being fully recognized by provincial licensing body if you are working in a profession or trade that requires licensing in Manitoba and you have completed all necessary steps to become licensed / certified to practice in Manitoba

Points are based on the highest level of education you completed at a recognized education institution for which you have received a certificate, diploma or degree.

Adaptability points are based on the type of connection you have to Manitoba. All candidates must have at least one type of connection to our province. If you have more than one type of connection, you will receive Adaptability points on your highest scoring connection. Note: Regional Development points are awarded in combination with another Manitoba connection, except Manitoba Demand, when you have an existing social or economic connection to a community outside of the Manitoba Capital Region.

*All candidates indicating that they plan to settle outside of Winnipeg MUST at the time of application satisfactorily demonstrate that they have a convincing connection to a region outside of the capital city indicating a strong likelihood that they will make a long-term economic contribution to that region.

Point deductions are based on connections you or your spouse, if applicable, have to other parts of Canada through education and work experience. Ranking points are not deducted if you or your spouse have a close relative living in another Canadian province or if you have a previous immigration application to another province but you still must answer questions related to these types of connections truthfully in your EOI.
