As per records, Manitoba labour market has benefitted from a record  population through Manitoba PNP. This helps to allow province the set number of candidates to get nominated for permanent residence each year.

It also states that, the younger age demographics has helped to push the birthrate in the province which in turn has contributed towards the labour supply which is expected to continue over medium term.

Student Innovators and Skilled Workers a Major Focus

It is estimated that 13,100 immigrants would be welcomed by Manitoba annually till 2024 with majority of them arriving by the economic immigration programs which are managed by MPNP.
