Skilled Workers Pathways: The MPNP offers two primary pathways for skilled workers – Skilled Workers in Manitoba and Skilled Workers Overseas.

This elevation in CRS score significantly enhances their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence in subsequent Express Entry draws.
