Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) — Canada's first PNP — nominates workers, international graduates, and business investors for permanent residence. It uses an Expression of Interest system that ranks candidates, giving weight to connections to Manitoba, and includes an Express Entry-aligned pathway. Streams and ranking criteria evolve — verify on the official MPNP site.
