Manitoba Human Capital Pathway

manitoba human capital
The Manitoba Human Capital Pathway (HCP) targets international candidates with skilled work experience and training in one of the areas on Manitoba’s list of in-demand occupations.

Applicants do not need to have an Express Entry profile to apply since the Manitoba Human Capital Pathway is not linked to the federal Express Entry system.

Qualified HCP candidates will be issued a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA) – as is the present situation for Manitoba’s skilled worker categories – and will be able to apply straight to the Canadian government for permanent residence status.

It’s vital to keep in mind that this route is not yet operational. It was supposed to start taking applications in 2019, however, it has been postponed multiple times.

Candidates interested in applying through this stream may explore the Manitoba Skilled Workers Overseas track, which is presently open and has identical qualifying requirements.

How do I apply to this stream?
The following steps are involved in acquiring Canadian permanent residency through the Human Capital Pathway:

1. Evaluate your eligibility based on the information provided above. Applicants must have at least 60 points (out of a possible 100) on the Manitoba Skilled Worker Overseas points grid.
2. If you are qualified, you may register a profile in Manitoba’s skilled worker Expression of Interest (EOI) system.
3. Under Manitoba’s specific rating system for skilled employees, candidates are granted a score out of 1,000 based on a variety of qualifications.
4. Manitoba immigration officials invite the top applicants to apply for a provincial nomination, also known as a draw, on a regular basis.
5. Those who have been invited may seek a ‘base’ provincial nomination under the MPNP. Base nominations are not tied to the federal Express Entry system, and applications are handled separately.
6. Applicants who are successful may now apply to the federal government for permanent residence status.
