How can I qualify for Skilled Worker Overseas stream?

The Skilled Worker Overseas Stream (SWO) has a dedicated Express Entry pathway as well as a direct provincial pathway. It is designed for internationally qualified candidates with expertise and training in ‘in-demand’ occupations in Manitoba. Priority shall be given to applicants and spouses with close family ties, language skills, training, and work experience in Canada.

Manitoba Express Entry Pathway:  Candidates need skills, training, and experience in one of the ‘in-demand occupations’ in Manitoba, and a strong family relationship with the province.

Direct Provincial Pathway: It is applicable for international skilled workers with expertise and good knowledge for the in-demand occupations in Manitoba . Soon after arrival, the candidates should demonstrate their potentiality by finding a job as soon as possible.

 

How can I qualify for the Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream?

The Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream (SWM) relies on the Manitoba employers’ specific needs. SWM will select and nominate foreign trained workers with appropriate skills for permanent residency in Canada. The stream gives priority to Manitoba candidates with pathways towards immigration.

Manitoba Work Experience Pathway: This stream targets foreign nationals who already have work experience in Manitoba and are working in the province at the time of application who were working on temporary work permits. Candidates do not need to be working in ‘In-Demand’ Occupations.

Employer Direct Recruitment Pathway: This stream is applicable for applicants from overseas with valid job offers from an approved Manitoba employer.
