Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program

Manitoba is one of the most famous provinces of Canada among immigrants. It was one of the first provinces ever to offer a Provincial Nomination Program (PNP).

One of the famous questions is how can we get into Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program? One can get into the MPNP through streams offered by Manitoba. Basically, there are two types of streams under MPNP-

Enhanced stream
Basic stream

The enhanced stream is directly aligned with federal Express entry whereas the basic stream is totally controlled by the provincial administration. Under the basic stream, there are sub-streams. These substreams are: Skilled Worker Program, International Graduate Stream, and Business Investor Stream.

In the enhanced stream, firstly you need to submit the EOI (Expression of Interest), then if you have the satisfying CRS points then you will get the nomination.
