Individuals who meet the qualifications outlined by the province can immigrate to Canada through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (Manitoba PNP), which allows them to obtain a Manitoba Provincial Nomination Certificate that expedites the immigration and Canadian Permanent Residency processes. The province of Manitoba, located between Ontario and Saskatchewan, is often considered the western gateway to Canada.
On November 15, 2017, the Manitoba government introduced a revised Manitoba PNP. Some adjustments were made at that time, and further changes are expected in the final version for 2018. The Manitoba PNP enables Canadian provincial and territorial governments to attract newcomers to their regions.
