If you’re currently working in Manitoba or have a job offer from a Manitoba employer, the SWM might be your pathway to Canadian permanent residence. This stream includes two options:
Manitoba Work Experience Pathway: This option is available to those already working in Manitoba on temporary permits or as international graduates, regardless of whether their occupation is in demand.
Employer Direct Recruitment Pathway: This pathway is for individuals with job offers from approved Manitoba employers while residing overseas.
Designed for skilled workers abroad, the SWO offers two routes:
Manitoba Express Entry Pathway: This route is for those who are eligible under another MPNP stream and meet Express Entry criteria, with skills in Manitoba’s In-Demand Occupations and close family ties to the province.
Human Capital Pathway: This pathway targets skilled workers abroad with experience in In-Demand Occupations, emphasizing their potential to secure employment in Manitoba upon arrival.
