Reporting expiring work permits to the MPNP

In response to the challenges post-graduation work permit holders and other temporary residents are facing, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program will temporarily prioritize assessments of submitted MPNP applications with expired or expiring work permits. MPNP applicants whose work permits have expired or are expiring within the next 45 days are asked to inform the MPNP by using the Skilled Worker Webform.

It is the applicant's responsibility to provide the MPNP with accurate, up-to-date information and to notify the program of any changes to their application or status in Canada.

It is also the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that their immigration status in Canada remains valid. Please see the Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada website for further information.
