Manitoba (Manitoba), also known as Manitoba, referred to as Manitoba. The province is located in the center of Canada, with Ontario in the east, the United States in the south, and Saskatchewan in the west. It is one of the three prairie provinces in Canada and an important province in south-central Canada.

With the rapid economic development, Manitoba's labor gap is expected to reach 20,000 by 2020. The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) seeks skilled workers, businessmen, and their families who have the intention and ability to settle in Manitoba and build the province's economy, and their families to become permanent residents in Manitoba.

The Manitoba Immigration Bureau announced that starting from January 2018, Manitoba’s nominated immigration policy has been updated to introduce a list of shortage occupations, which affects the category of skilled workers in Manitoba, the category of skilled workers abroad and the category of international students. EOI applications made prior to the implementation of the policy are still valid.
