Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program has launched a new “sub-stream” to nominate a limited number of MPNP applicants for consideration under the Government of Canada’s Express Entry system.
Under the first ‘pilot’ phase of this initiative, only applicants who meet ALL the criteria below and are directly contacted by the MPNP will be considered for nomination.
How Can You Enter MPNP Express Entry Program?
The MPNP will directly contact a limited number of applicants who:- have an existing open application with a MPNP file number in the Skilled Worker Overseas stream within our inventory
- have the potential to meet the eligibility criteria of at least one of the three federal economic immigration programs included in Express Entry according to the assessment of a MPNP Immigration Officer based on the documents included with your current application.
In every case, a full assessment against MPNP criteria will be completed first. All those nominated by Manitoba will have to provide evidence that they meet federal criteria when submitting their permanent residence application through Express Entry.
In the coming months, the MPNP will introduce an expanded process for considering more applicants for nomination through the federal Express Entry system. Details for future phases for an expanded MPNP Express Entry “sub-stream” will be announced soon.
