Non-Business immigration generally includes all Express Entry categories, including skilled workers, skilled trade, Canadian Experienced Classes, most provincial Nominee programs, and some immigration programs based on federal public policies.

The Atlantic Immigration Program-AIP is a pathway to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers and international graduates from a Canadian institution who want to work and live in 1 of Canada’s 4 Atlantic provinces—New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland and Labrador.

A. Skilled Worker Stream

The Skilled Worker Stream is locally driven and based on the needs of Manitoba employers. We select internationally trained and experienced workers who have the skills needed in the local labour market, and nominate them to receive Canadian permanent resident visas to settle and work in Manitoba.

There are two pathways under the Skilled Worker Stream: Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM) and Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO).

Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM)

The Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM) pathway nominates applicants who have a strong connection to our province through ongoing employment and sufficient skills, education and training, work experience and official language proficiency to make an immediate and ongoing contribution to the Manitoba economy and our community at large.

Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO)

The Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO) pathway nominates applicants who demonstrate an established connection to Manitoba through:

the support of family members or friends;
previous education or work experience in the province; or
an Invitation to Apply received directly from the MPNP as part of a Strategic Recruitment Initiative.

B. International Education Stream

The International Education Stream (IES) for Manitoba graduates is dedicated to providing international students graduating in Manitoba and meeting the needs of industry faster pathways to the nomination.

There are three pathways:

Career Employment Pathway

The Career Employment Pathway provides faster nomination pathways for post-secondary students who graduate and find long-term employment in Manitoba in an in-demand occupation consistent with their training. If you meet these conditions, you will be eligible to apply to the MPNP immediately after graduating and obtaining the job offer.

Graduate Internship Pathway

The Graduate Internship Pathway provides faster nomination pathways for international student master and doctoral graduates through internships contributing to industry innovation in Manitoba. Graduates who complete an Accelerate or Elevate internship with Mitacs in Manitoba can apply to the MPNP immediately after graduation, whether or not they have a job offer.

International Student Entrepreneur Pilot (ISEP)

The International Student Entrepreneur Pilot (ISEP) provides up to 20 (per calendar year) international students who have graduated in Manitoba the opportunity to pursue entrepreneurship rather than employment. Once the applicant meets the conditions of their Business Performance Agreement, they are nominated for permanent residence.

If you are an international student who graduated in another province of Canada, you will not be eligible under this stream but may be eligible under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba pathway.

C. Business Investor Stream

The Business Investor Stream (BIS) allows Manitoba to recruit and nominate qualified business investors and entrepreneurs from around the world who have the intent and ability to start or purchase businesses in Manitoba.

There are two pathways:

the Entrepreneur Pathway (EP) for applicants seeking to open a business in Manitoba; and
the Farm Investor Pathway (FIP) for those intending to establish and operate a farm operation in rural Manitoba.

Ontario is the most popular destination that most immigrants choose to settle in Canada. OINP Employer Job Offer Stream is one of the most popular immigration pathways for new immigration applications. An individual who has a full-time and permanent job offer from a qualifying employer in Ontario can apply for a nomination through the Employer Job Offer (EJO) category. It includes the following three streams:

Foreign Workers Stream
