BMPNP II

Brandon Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program Immigration Initiative (BMPNP II)

What is BMPNPII?

BMPNPII is a partnership initiative between the Brandon Economic Development Department and the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP). This initiative allows Brandon to issue endorsements to skilled workers and business investors who want to make Brandon their home. The BMPNP II enables Brandon employers to tap into a global talent pool for hard-to-fill roles, and also allows employers to support current employees on temporary residency status in their journey to permanent residency.

For selected applicants, the City of Brandon will provide community endorsements, and the Province of Manitoba will evaluate and nominate applicants who meet provincial requirements. Final approval of an applicant’s admissibility to Canada will be determined by the federal government, IRCC.
