Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program

Manitoba PNP Points Calculator (MPNP)

The MPNP self-assessment grid scores you out of 100, and you need at least 60 points to apply. Manitoba adds a second requirement the score cannot substitute for: every applicant must have a connection to the province.

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.

Estimated score

42

out of 100

Below the 60-point minimum — 18 to go.

Both the 60-point minimum and a Manitoba connection are required.

Ranking estimate only

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.

Manitoba MPNP questions

No, and this is the point most applicants miss. A connection to Manitoba under Factor 5 is required of every applicant regardless of points. Manitoba states it plainly: if you score 60 or more but have no connection, you are not eligible to apply. The score and the connection are two separate requirements and one cannot substitute for the other.

Any one of: a close relative in Manitoba (20 points), an invitation under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative (20), at least six months' previous work in Manitoba (12), a completed two-year-plus programme in Manitoba (12), a completed one-year programme in Manitoba (10), or a friend or distant relative living there (10). You may claim only one, and the highest that applies to you is the one to use.

No. Regional Immigration is worth 5 supplemental points and stacks on top of a connection you already have, but it does not satisfy the connection requirement on its own. A candidate whose only Manitoba link is an intention to settle in a region is still ineligible.

At least 60 of 100 to be eligible to apply, alongside the connection requirement. Meeting both makes you eligible to apply — Manitoba still assesses the application itself, and eligibility is not the same as nomination.

Only full-time employment in the past five years, and only continuous jobs of six months or longer. Four years or more scores the maximum 15 points, dropping to 8 at one year and zero below a year.
