Skilled Worker in Manitoba
Summary:
The Manitoba Skilled Worker Stream is designed for qualified workers who have strong connections to Manitoba. Through this stream, the province selects candidates who have the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to Manitoba’s labor market and community.
Applications are managed through an Expression of Interest (EOI) system. Eligible candidates submit an online profile, answer a series of questions, and receive a score based on their responses. The highest-scoring profiles are invited to apply to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP). There is no limit to how many candidates can submit an EOI and no submission deadline.
