This stream allows the province to recruit and nominate eligible foreign business owners who are intending to move to Manitoba to establish, purchase a business or co-own an existing business in Manitoba.
- The eligible internationally trained and skilled workers should complete a series of online questions and submit the profile into the Expression of Interest (EOI) pool which contains other eligible candidates’ profiles as well. The applicant will receive the score based on the answers provided. MPNP will then rank based on several factors and the highest scoring candidates will be invited to submit application to MPNP.
