It is a great news for the international students as the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program
(MPNP) has introduced its new immigration pathways. The immigration pathways
which have been introduced are International Student Entrepreneur Pathway and
Graduate Internship Pathway.
Kelvin Goertzen- the Education and Training Minister has
stated that, “By providing students a
fast track to nomination for permanent residency, we hope to attract and retain
more talented innovators and entrepreneurs from all over the world.”
“International students
bring new ideas, global connections and an entrepreneurial spirit to our
province and when they create opportunities for themselves, Manitoba becomes
more competitive and innovative.”
In order to attract skilled candidates for working and
preferring to invest business, the Manitoba PNP was created in 1998. But years
later, in 2018, the International Education Stream with a Career Employment
Pathways have been introduced for graduate students belonging to Science, Technology
and Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) programs.
How are the two programs beneficial?
The International students can take a massive advantage of
becoming a Canadian
Permanent Resident by choosing the program based on their
eligibility.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT
ENTREPRENEUR PATHWAY:
It helps the graduated students in establishing a business in Manitoba. The
candidates have to complete at least a two-year program at a post-graduation institute
of Manitoba. Under this 2-year pilot program, the candidates can take an
advantage of availing a temporary work permit.
GRADUATE INTERNSHIP
PATHWAY: Within this
pathway, candidates who have completed their master’s or Ph.D. in a university
of Manitoba are opened for an internship which is supported from the Mitacs. It
is a national-not-for-profit organization for building partnerships among the
industries and universities. However, the funds are provided from the Manitoba
government.
The Scientific Director and CEO of Mitacs, Alejandro Adem
said that, “Mitacs is proud that our
programs can support this endeavour, which in turn leads to economic growth in
the province.”
Additionally, the Education and Training Minister added that,
the Manitoba PNP is expecting over 70 graduates to qualify for the Graduate
Internship Pathway, 2018-19. Hence, with
the new launch of the pathways introduced by the Manitoba Provincial Nominee
Program, the international students can experience the better pathways for achieving
permanent residency.
