New documents needed for Canada - Manitoba immigration

Aspiring overseas immigrants can apply for the Canadian Permanent Residency Visa through diverse immigration pathways. A popular route is through the various Provincial Nominee Programs. One of the popular provinces in Canada is Manitoba which accepts applications through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP).

The MPNP’s new Federal Express Entry aligned program started accepting applications from January 2018. This stream is open to candidates who may qualify under an MPNP pathway, and who also meet the Express Entry criteria.

Candidates who wish to apply under this stream will now have to submit the below new documents:

1. Educational Credential Assessment: If your education is from outside of Canada, then you will need to get your education assessed. This assessment may be done through any one of the many assessing bodies in Canada like World Education Services (WES). The educational assessment report would need to be submitted at the time of Visa application.
2. Details of your Express Entry profile from IRCC: While applying under the Express Entry program, you need to submit an Expression of Interest online (EOI). You would need to submit details of your EOI while submitting your application for MPNP, as quoted by the CIC News.
3. Fund documents to prove you meet the LICO requirements: Low-income cut-offs (LICO) are income thresholds. Below this threshold, a family is most likely to spend a major share of their earning on necessities of food, shelter, and clothing than the average family. You would now also be required to submit fund documents to prove you meet the LICO requirements. This would be applicable for yourself and any accompanying family members.

In the MPNP, priority is given to candidates and spouses with close family connections in the province. Also given importances are the language proficiency, work experience, and training that enable a person to find jobs quickly.
