MPNP Strategic Recruitment Initiative (SRI): The Secret to PR in Manitoba
https://youtu.be/Co4TiehZO_s?si=MOUInIjUuWJqxJQX The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) offers a little-known pathway to permanent residency through the Strategic Recruitment Initiative (SRI), a route that bypasses the need for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). What is SRI and How Does It Work? Through the SRI, a Manitoba business owner can invite someone from outside Canada to apply for permanent residency without obtaining an LMIA. This is an exclusive sub-stream under the Skilled Worker Overseas category and may be the most efficient pathway to PR in Manitoba today. MPNP Quota Drop in 2025 The total number of nominations under MPNP has been reduced to 4,750, down by 50% from 2024. Of that total, 1,312 nominations are projected to go to the Skilled Worker Overseas stream, which includes candidates under the Strategic Recruitment Initiative. SRI Points Breakdown • An SRI invitation automatically awards 500 points to the applicant. • Combined with other eligibility factors (education, work experience, language, etc.), candidates can score up to 875 points. • Historical data shows that scores of 875 have consistently been selected in MPNP draws over the past five years, making this stream highly reliable. Business Owner Requirements (To Sponsor via SRI) • Must own a registered business in Manitoba for at least 3 years • Businesses must generate at least $250,000 in gross revenue annually • Must have employees on payroll Applicant Requirements • No age limit • Minimum CLB 4 • Educational background must align with the NOC (National Occupation Classification) With an SRI invitation, even candidates with 500–600 points have a strong chance of receiving an invitation to apply for PR. If you’re a Manitoba business owner looking to bring in skilled talent, or a candidate abroad with a connection to a qualifying Manitoba business, the Strategic Recruitment Initiative may be your best bet for permanent residency.
