In demand Job Occupations
Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is locally driven and based on the needs of Manitoba employers. It selects internationally trained and experienced workers who possess skills needed in the local labor market.
To identify candidates who meet employer needs, the MPNP determines in-demand occupations using Manitoba's labour market information and occupational forecasts, along with employer consultations. The occupations listed use the 2021 version of the National Occupation Classification (NOC).
In-Demand Occupations List
The In-Demand Occupations List outlines occupations considered "in demand" in Manitoba. It is regularly updated. Many occupations on this list are restricted to specific MPNP streams and pathways. Candidates must meet the requirements of the respective streams and are prioritized in Expression of Interest (EOI) draws.
