How Does the Manitoba Immigration Work?
The MNPN has both base streams and enhanced streams.Enhanced streams are those which are aligned with the Express Entry system. It is the federal program to manage permanent residence applications.Under the Express Entry system, candidates obtain a CRS score based on their profile. In the end, only those with the highest scores receive an invitation to apply (ITA) for permanent residence. Moreover, if you get a provincial nomination, you will grant an extra 600 CRS points, which essentially guarantees you will receive your ITA.On the other hand, base streams are those that are not aligned with the Express Entry system. Therefore, candidates need to apply directly to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).Immigration to Manitoba (MNPN)
