Provincial Nomination remains one of the ways of gaining permanent residency in Canada. Each province offers its unique pathways, tailored to meet local labor market needs and economic growth strategies, and the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), is one such provincial program.

In this blog post, we will discuss the international student stream through which Ami, our client, was able to secure a nomination from Manitoba.
The International Education Stream (IES) quickens the nomination process for graduates of Manitoba’s post-secondary institutions who have completed programs aligned with the province’s industry needs. This stream offers three distinct pathways: the Career Employment Pathway, Graduate Internship Pathway, and the International Student Entrepreneur Pilot Pathway.
