Manitoba Launches Three new Immigration Pathways for International Graduates
A new immigration pathway for international graduates of post-secondary institutions in Manitoba is now open to Expressions of Interest (EOI) from eligible candidates.
Eligibility criteria for the Career Employment Pathway are:
- Candidate must have graduated from a full-time program of at least one year / two semesters in length and be living in the province at the time they submit their Expression of Interest (EOI).
- A full-time job offer from an eligible current employer in an occupation that’s considered in-demand in Manitoba and is consistent with their training and education. OR
- completed a bridging program and passed the initial stage of certification as determined by the relevant regulatory body.
Submitting an EOI:
- An EOI is not an application but is rather a way for interested candidates to make it known to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) that they would like to be considered for a provincial nomination for permanent residence under a given immigration pathway.
- Eligible candidates answer a series of questions online that pertain to their education, work experience and proficiency in English or French, among other factors. Profiles are given a ranking score and entered into the pool of eligible candidates for the given pathway.
- A set number of the highest-scoring candidates are then issued Letters of Advice to Apply for a provincial nomination from the MPNP during regular draws from the pool.
The MPNP says it may impose program or occupation-specific limits when issuing LAAs for the Career Employment Pathway.
The other two pathways are — the International Student Entrepreneur Pathway and Graduate Internship Pathway.
