Manitoba Promotes Francophone Immigration through MPNP

Manitoba inviting francophones for exploratory visits

Manitoba is targeting to invite francophone populations from different provinces of Canada for exploratory visits. This exploratory visit is more like a pre-arranged trip that promotes as well as supports all the eligible MPNP Skilled Worker candidates to visit Manitoba to look out for better job opportunities. This helps them in making an informed decision and help them settle down in Manitoba with their family members as permanent residents.

In Canada, there are approximately 7 million French-mother-tongue people, i.e. 21.4% of the total population. Thus, to provide all the candidates a fair chance, MPNP (Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program) has also updated the screening guidelines of candidates to help ease out the application process for their exploratory visits.

Here are a few highlighted form a news statement released by Ralph Eichler, Manitoba’s Economic Development and Training Minister:

“As immigration is critical to our economic growth, we are strengthening our partnership with CDEM to support the economic and cultural vitality of our francophone communities and Manitoba as a whole.” “Our renewed partnership aligns with Manitoba’s Growing Through Immigration Strategy as it will help increase the size and diversity of the talent pool available to the Manitoba industry.”

CDEM’s participation will help prospective francophone immigrants build stronger ties to francophone communities in Manitoba and local economic opportunities.”

Well, the key objective behind this step is to improve the selection, promotion, settlement, retention, and integration of French-speaking new immigrants to FMCs in Canada, i.e. Francophone Minority Communities.
