https://youtu.be/2ylmJJJEhQw?si=NIh0mt-1awGJwo7C Under current guidelines, graduates of a 2-year program in Manitoba can obtain a maximum of 865 points for MPNP. This score is considered excellent for success under the MPNP. Based on 2025 draw data for the International Education Stream (IES): The stream selected 59 and 19 candidates in separate draws. Graduates of 2-year Manitoba programs were included in one of these two draws. The review of the three MPNP draws in 2025 shows that graduates with comparable scores were selected each time. This indicates a positive trend and strong future potential for success under the MPNP. What If You Started Right After High School? If you entered a 2-year program directly after Grade 12 and have no prior work experience, your maximum achievable score is about 755. Based on current thresholds, this score reflects very limited or almost no chances of receiving a nomination under MPNP. Graduates of a 2-year diploma or certificate program receive a 3-year Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and this is a significant advantage. With proper planning, this timeframe provides ample opportunity to: – Gain eligible full-time work experience – Apply for nomination under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba or International Education streams Compared to fresh university or even PhD graduates, 2-year diploma holders in Manitoba are currently in a better position for immigration success due to MPNP structure and prioritization. A 3-year PGWP is a valuable window, but success requires timely action and strategic guidance. To properly navigate your path and maximize your chances, consider seeking support from professionals.

https://youtu.be/Ge4k4lf-YgY?si=cHxy3K6hHtB6Np0H If you’re studying in Manitoba and planning to settle here — it’s time for a reality check. The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) has taken a major turn in 2025, and it’s not in favour of fresh international graduates. The facts are clear — your chances are slimmer than ever. The Numbers That Matter The provincial quota for 2025 has been cut in half — from 9,500 to just 4,750 total nominations. As per 2023’s draws, only 3,017 spots are available for the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream, which is the main route for international graduates and workers. What Does That Mean for Students? Let’s break it down: There are 15,290 total study permit holders in Manitoba. 10,570 are post-secondary students, and 6,910 are university students. That is over 10,000 eligible graduates — fighting for just 3,107 quotas. To add to those numbers, there are 3,540 college students and 44,000 work permit holders in Manitoba. Now you’re competing with more than 59,000 potential candidates for a slice of just 3,170 nominations. That’s a 5.2% chance; or worse. Many students come to Manitoba with hopes of securing PR through a short 1-year diploma. Here’s the hard truth: Even if you have: A master’s degree from back home A diploma from Manitoba Full-time experience Your maximum MPNP score would be around 875, a level that even a PhD graduate may not reach under the current system. But the problem is that you will get only 1 year of PGWP with this diploma. In current scenario, it is impossible to complete the process in 1 year. This is a data-backed reality. If you’re a fresh graduate or a current student in Manitoba, do not rely on outdated assumptions and do not expect guaranteed pathways Thousands of hopeful applicants are headed for disappointment this year. Don’t be one of them. Book your free assessment today with the best immigration lawyer in Winnipeg, and take control of your future with clarity.

https://youtu.be/XySHHTxTtAs?si=-GU5g6JYzf6YNUpm Are you an international student enrolled in a one-year program in Manitoba and planning to apply for the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)? While your score matters, it’s only one piece of the puzzle. To truly improve your chances, you need to understand how timeline, work experience, and study duration all come together under MPNP rules. If you already have four years of full-time work experience and then come to Manitoba to complete a one-year diploma or certificate, you could score as high as 875 points. Why this matters: • 875 points has been the cut-off score in multiple draws under the International Education Stream in 2025. • This score also puts you in strong contention under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba category. So, with prior work experience, a one-year diploma can be a strategic steppingstone toward permanent residency. Let’s say you come straight to Manitoba after high school (Grade 12), with no prior work experience, and enroll in a one-year program. Here’s the reality: Your maximum achievable score is around 725 points. And based on current MPNP trends, this score is not competitive for a nomination. Why? • A one-year diploma only qualifies you for a one-year Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). • The MPNP nomination and PR process typically takes 9 to 12 months. • This tight timeline leaves little to no room for delays, making the journey to PR extremely difficult. Don’t base your immigration journey on assumptions. Understanding program length, PGWP validity, and scoring potential is critical when making educational decisions in Manitoba.
