Application Deadline
The online submission form for Support Letters will close at the specified time on December 15, 2025. Following this deadline, new applications for Support Letters will not be accepted. Applicants must complete the online form before this date if they wish to be considered under this policy.
Eligibility for Support Letters
Individuals who meet the established eligibility criteria for this temporary public policy are encouraged to apply for a Support Letter from Manitoba. This letter is a prerequisite for facilitating work permit applications under the policy.
Impact on Prospective Nominees
This marks the conclusion of a specific pathway for prospective Provincial Nominee Program candidates to obtain work permits. Other immigration streams and work permit options not covered by this temporary policy remain subject to their own respective criteria and processes.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)
Manitoba Immigration advises that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) works in collaboration with provincial programs but implements its own policies and procedures for work permit issuance. This policy's conclusion affects the provincial component of the application process.
