The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program or MPNP is one of the most popular immigration systems in Canada. This Express Entry program provides potential immigrants with complexities-free and easy means of immigration for skilled workers and professionals. Just like other point-based systems, MPNP evaluates applicants based on the point system which is derivative of the Canadian federal government’s Express Entry Program. Therefore, the assessment is done based on sate as well as the nationalized job pool centered Express Entry Program. It is essential to calculate your MPNP points while applying under this program. You must note down that a minimum of 60 points out of 100 needed for MPNP.
The following are the fundamental factors for the calculation of Manitoba points:
The Manitoba authorities periodically issue invitations to skilled immigrants to apply for PR. To be eligible for this program, you will need to meet the criteria set by national as well as state authorities. The minimal score to be invited to submit your application is 60 out of 100. A notable point is that criteria for this program are subject to change particularly the ‘in-demand list of occupations’. Hence, it is important to stay up-to-date of every facet of this point-based system.
