Changes on How to Contact the MPNP

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program is enhancing the way applicants, representatives, employers and the general public can contact the program. These changes will streamline processes and improve response time to inquiries.

Beginning March 2, 2026, applicants can use the appropriate webform to submit inquiries for review by program staff. The MPNP will no longer respond to any inquiries received via email.  For more details about forms – please see here. Please note that only inquiries in French from Francophone applicants do not need to use this new process and can continue to use the immigreraumanitoba.com mailbox as usual.

If you have not yet received a response to a previous email, please do not submit a new request through this process at this time. Doing so will increase response times for everyone. The MPNP continues to review and respond to requests received before March 2, 2026.
