Note: If you are an international student who graduated in another province of Canada, you will not be eligible under any of the International Education Streams but you may be eligible under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream.
A broad overview of the process to apply to the MPNP is below.
Stage 1: Registration The first step is to create a profile in the MPNP Expression of Interest System. You will be ranked based on the information you provide in your profile.
Stage 2: Invitation The highest -ranking candidates in each streamwith a Manitoba connection will regularly be invited to submit a complete application to the MPNP. Letters of advice to Apply (LLA’s) are done through Expression of Interest Draws.
Stage 3: Application If you are invited to apply, you have up to 60 days submit a complete MPNP application via the MPNP online system.
Stage 4: Nomination If your application for nomination is approved you will receive a confirmation of nomination as a provincial nominee from the MPNP
Stage 5: Permanent Residence After receiving a MPNP confirmation of nomination, you must submit an application for permanent residence. Applicants with an Express Entry Profile will apply online via the Express Entry system. All other applicant swill submit a paper based applicationto the IRCC Centralized In take Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The processing time for an applicant with an Express Entry profile and who has applied to a provincial Express Entry stream is 6 months. The processing time for all other applicants is approximately 18 months.
You must show that you have sufficient funds to successfully establish yourself and your family in Canada and to pay your immigration costs and travel expenses (if applicable) at the time of your application for permanent residency to IRCC (as well as at Express Entry profile submission stage). The amount of money you need to s determined by the size of your family, as shown below.
Number of family members | Funds Required ( in Canadian dollars) |
---|---|
1 | $12,960 |
2 | $16,135 |
3 | $19,836 |
4 | $24,083 |
5 | $27,315 |

In addition to making sure the application is complete there are three main areas where an RCIC can help.
Immigration Strategy and Option: An RCIC can advise you on the different options that are available to you to obtain permanent residence in Canada and explain the pros and cons of each option. It is important you choose the best immigration program from the start as this will likely save you time and money in the long run.
Professional Representation: If you do not have a representative assisting you then you will probably only submit the required documentation listed on the IRCC document checklist. Submitting only these documents may be enough to result in a favorable decision. However, submitting only those documents sometimes is not enough to make your case and to satisfy the visa officer you meet the requirements of the visa. Generally, it is wise to submit as much evidence as you can above and beyond the minimum required by IRCC. Your representative can assist you in preparing and submitting a strong application to IRCC by identifying the weaknesses in your application and advising you how to strengthen your application.
Submission letter: An RCIC will prepare and submit a submission letter on behalf of the applicant along with the application. The submission letter is an important part of the application which summarizes and more importantly demonstrates why you meet the requirements of the visa.
