Connection to Manitoba
Required of every applicant. Without one you cannot apply, whatever your points total. Only one connection may be claimed.
Supplemental only, worth 5 points. It does not by itself satisfy the connection requirement.
Language
Worth 5 points.
Age, experience and education
Only continuous full-time jobs of six months or longer count.
A Manitoba connection is required, whatever your score
Manitoba states this explicitly: score 60 or more without a connection under Factor 5 and you are still not eligible to apply. A plan to settle outside Winnipeg adds points but does not count as a connection on its own.
Estimated score

Scoring factors are not the same as eligibility criteria. A score here does not mean you qualify — you must separately meet every requirement of the programme. This is not immigration advice.
