Additional Insights

The draw targets two main streams:

1. Skilled Workers in Manitoba: This stream prioritizes candidates who are already working in Manitoba and have demonstrated a strong connection to the province through their current employment in specific in-demand occupations.
2. Skilled Workers Overseas: This stream is aimed at skilled workers who are outside of Canada but have the skills and qualifications that meet Manitoba’s labor market needs. Candidates in this stream must score highly on the points-based assessment and typically have a connection to Manitoba through relatives, previous study, or work experience in the province.
