ITAs will be issued to all 2025 Support Letter recipients. Receiving the ITA is not an automatic indication of your eligibility to use the ITA. To be eligible to update your EOI profile to include the TPP ITA code, you must meet all the following requirements:
- You must hold a valid work permit issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) under this Temporary Public Policy.
- You must be currently employed in Manitoba on a full-time basis and able to demonstrate ongoing employment with a Manitoba employer who has offered you a full-time, long-term position.
- You must have completed at least six (6) months of continuous, full-time employment in Manitoba.
- If you graduated from a post-secondary program outside Manitoba (in another Canadian province or territory), you must demonstrate at least one (1) year of continuous, full-time employment in Manitoba.
- You must demonstrate that you meet all qualifications for your declared occupation, including required education, training, work experience, and any mandatory licensing or certification.
- You must have job-ready language ability, meaning you must demonstrate sufficient English or French proficiency to perform the duties of your assessed occupation.
- Your connection to Manitoba through employment must be stronger than any ties you have to another province or territory.
- You must submit a Settlement Plan demonstrating your intention and plan to live, work, and establish your career and family life in Manitoba as a permanent resident.
- You must meet all criteria of the Skilled Worker in Manitoba pathway as described online at https://immigratemanitoba.com/immigrate/skilled-worker/swm/.
I received a Support Letter from MPNP in 2025, but currently hold a different type of work permit (i.e. a work permit issued under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), a Post Graduate Work Permit, a Spousal Work Permit), can I use the ITA code?
No. You must possess a valid open, Manitoba-specific work permit that was issued by Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) under this Temporary Public Policy.
I meet the eligibility criteria listed but I have not been working for my current employer for minimum six months (or one year for out-of-province graduates). Am I eligible and how can I update my profile?
If you are currently employed and have previously completed at least six months (or one year for out-of-province graduates) ongoing employment with one Manitoba employer you may use the ITA code.
You will need to complete the EOI “Eligibility” questions and Tab 1 – Personal Information to reflect your current situation. If you do not meet the eligibility criteria for Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream your previous MB experience will allow you to submit an EOI as a Skilled Worker Overseas candidate.
Please make sure your country of residence is “Canada” and enter the ITA code under Tab 2 – More Information:
- Answer “Yes” to the question: Have you received an Invitation to Apply under a Strategic Initiative directly from MPNP?
- Enter your unique invitation number

No, you must be currently employed in Manitoba on a full-time basis and able to demonstrate ongoing employment with a Manitoba employer who has offered you a full-time, long-term position.
