The Skilled Worker pathway, which includes both “Skilled Worker Overseas” and "Skilled Workers in Manitoba” streams, is locally driven and based on the needs of Manitoba employers. Through this stream, MPNP selects internationally trained and experienced workers who have the skills needed in the local labor market - and nominates them to receive Canada PR visas to settle and work in the province.

Whereas, the International Education Stream (IES) provides international students graduating from designated Manitoba post-secondary institutions a faster pathway to nomination. There are three pathways: the Career Employment Pathway, the Graduate Internship Pathway, and the International Student Entrepreneur Pilot (ISEP). 

The MPNP invites the highest-scoring candidates in the pool to submit a full application to the MPNP on a regular basis. MPNP draws are usually held on a bi-weekly basis - with some exceptions. The frequency, size, and date of the next draws are determined by the needs of the MPNP application inventory.
