What type of worker, employment situation, occupation or professional activity is this pathway actually designed for?

The Career Employment Pathway is for Manitoba post-secondary graduates who secure long-term employment in an in-demand occupation, normally aligned with their studies. The graduate must have finished a designated Manitoba full-time programme within the past three years and be working full-time in Manitoba with a valid work permit when assessed.

  • mb-cep: The Career Employment Pathway provides
    The Career Employment Pathway provides faster nomination pathways for post-secondary students who graduate and find long-term employment in Manitoba in an in-demand occupation consistent with their training. If you meet these conditions, you will be eligible to apply to the MPNP immediately after graduating and obtaining the job offer.
  • mb-cep-elig: Education You must
    Education You must have graduated in the past 3 years from a designated post-secondary institution in Manitoba from a full-time program of at least one year/two semesters in length.
  • mb-cep-elig: You must be working full-time in Manitoba
    You must be working full-time in Manitoba with a valid work permit at the time your application is assessed.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

A full-time offer from an eligible Manitoba employer is required, with a contract of at least one year and a job on the provincial In-Demand Occupations List. The job normally must match the completed course. A Manitoba DLI bachelor-or-higher graduate can use an in-demand TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3 job even when it is unrelated to the studies; short-programme graduates must retain the study-job match.

  • mb-cep-elig: Current Employment in Manitoba You must
    Current Employment in Manitoba You must have a full-time job offer from an eligible Manitoba employer with a minimum 1-year contract in an occupation on Manitoba’s In-Demand Occupations List that is consistent with your completed program of studies in Manitoba.
  • mb-cep-elig: Graduates with a bachelor’s degree or higher
    Graduates with a bachelor’s degree or higher from a Manitoba designated learning institution qualify provided they have a job offer in any TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 occupation on the In-Demand Occupations List, even if that job is not consistent with their completed studies. Those who have completed a short-term study program, even if it was at a Manitoba institution, must have a job offer consistent with their completed program of studies.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

The distinctive requirements are recent Manitoba graduation from a full-time programme of at least one year/two semesters, CLB/NCLC 7, an eligible in-demand offer, and actual full-time Manitoba work at assessment. The language level applies in all four skills regardless of lower scores shown for other MPNP occupations. Programme or occupation limits may also apply.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

This is a provincial nomination pathway, not an independent open work permit. The applicant must keep legal work status while the separate federal PR application is processed, using any required extension or replacement permit. Eligible spouses/common-law partners and dependent children can join the PR application; parents and siblings cannot be included through this MPNP application.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

Nomination leads to a separate IRCC PR application due within 180 days of nomination. The certificate is described as valid for six months, with a new extended certificate requested if it expires before submission. Provincial nomination may be withdrawn before PR if the original conditions no longer hold; it does not renew a work permit.

Limits of the record
  • Complete federal PNP PR and work-status remissions; no fixed work-permit duration or automatic renewal is established by nomination.
  • mb-apply: Create an Expression of Interest
    Create an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile. If you receive a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA), submit a full application to the MPNP. Applications are thoroughly assessed by an MPNP officer. Successful applicants are nominated by the MPNP. Within 180 days from the date of nomination, make a separate application to the Government of Canada for permanent residence for you and your family.
  • mb-laa: You will have 60 days
    You will have 60 days from the date of your LAA to submit a full application.
  • mb-nomination: Nomination certificates are valid
    Nomination certificates are valid for six months. It is expected that you apply for PR during this period. If you do not apply for PR before your certificate expires, you will need to ask the MPNP to issue you a new certificate with an extended deadline by submitting a request via the Skilled Worker Webform. The MPNP has the right to withdraw your nomination at any time prior to IRCC granting you permanent residence if the MPNP is not satisfied that you continue to meet the original requirements under which you were nominated. Reasons for which the MPNP may withdraw a nomination include, but are not limited to: The MPNP is advised that information provided in your visa application is false or has been misrepresented. You are deemed to not intend to live, work, and/or start a business in Manitoba.
  • mb-pr: If you are working in Manitoba
    If you are working in Manitoba, you are responsible for maintaining legal status in Canada. Be prepared to apply for an extension of your current permit or for another permit while your PR application is being processed.
