Manitoba announces new path to permanent residency for international students

Winnipeg, MB — Manitoba’s Minister of Education and Training, Kelvin Goertzen, announced today the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program’s (MPNP) Graduate Internship Pathway, which provides international students with a fast track to nomination for permanent residency. Partnering with Mitacs, the program intends to provide companies in the province with job-ready, highly skilled workers.

The MPNP’s Graduate Internship Pathway is open to international students who complete a master’s or PhD degree at a Manitoba university and a qualifying Mitacs internship. Graduates who complete an Accelerate or Elevate internship in Manitoba can apply to the MPNP immediately after graduation.
