Manitoba has prioritised draws based on strategic recruitment initiatives this year (held through the MPNP Skilled Worker Stream), as a direct way to meet the province’s most urgent immigration requirements.
Strategic recruitment initiatives are employer- and community-led processes that allow Manitoba to identify and invite candidates with skills that match the province’s labour needs.
Through these initiatives, the MPNP works with employers, regional partners, and cultural organisations to identify skilled workers with strong potential to settle in Manitoba.
This week’s draw also continued Manitoba’s priority for candidates eligible under the Temporary Public Policy to Facilitate Work Permits for Potential Provincial Nominee Program Candidates in select provinces. The policy is jointly supported by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Government of Manitoba.
