Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) in Canada address the unique economic and demographic needs of each province or territory. Eligibility criteria and program details vary significantly across provinces, with some offering specific programs for childcare or elder care workers. These programs may change over time as immigration policies and priorities evolve.

The Manitoba Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO) Pathway offers a unique route to Canadian permanent residency without a job offer. Candidates must show a strong connection to Manitoba, such as close family ties, past education, or work experience in the province.
