Manitoba is one of the most popular provinces in Canada, having multiple job opportunities, pleasant weather, broad cultural acceptance and a healthy lifestyle. Immigrants in huge numbers across the globe admire it and want to stay and work there.
Manitoba Provincial Nominee program is one of the flexible and fastest provincial immigration programs which ease the entry of immigrants from different nationalities to stay, work and study in Manitoba. It divides into three different sub-categories, through which it receives hundreds and thousands of applications.
- Skilled Worker Immigration Stream:
This stream invites applications from skilled workers, working either in Manitoba or outside Canada. However, pursuing occupation must be in demand in the province.
- Business Immigration Stream:
This stream invites application from individuals who are interested in either setting up or investing, purchasing any business in Manitoba. For that, they need to have previous experience and sufficient capital to sponsor, manage and establish the business there.
