The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is a provincial immigration pathway that allows Manitoba to nominate skilled workers, international graduates, and entrepreneurs for Canadian permanent residence. Its goal is to attract newcomers who can meet the province’s labour market needs and contribute to its growing economy.
