Jobs in top demand due to COVID-19 to reach for via Manitoba PNP

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a tough time for world countries and Canada has felt no differently. Canada has however been resilient with Canada immigration activities and has chosen skilled foreigners on temporary work visas as well as international students to be converted to Canada PR visa holders. This policy served Canadian provinces well and gave them suitably qualified and skilled candidates to join their labor force. As in other provinces, Manitoba PNP consistently recruited locally available foreign candidates while COVID-19 restrictions made overseas candidates unavailable.

Manitoba PNP identifies candidates who satisfy the requirements put forward by the province’s employers. Based on the information from Manitoba’s labor market, consultations with the employers, and occupational forecasts, Manitoba PNP identifies a list of in-demand occupations.

Candidates who work in the in-demand occupations present in the regularly updated list will get priority in selection via Manitoba PNP EOI draws. It’s mandatory for immigration candidates to meet other criteria like language skill levels to get invited for a provincial nomination from Manitoba.

How has COVID-19 changed the demand for certain occupations?

After COVID-19 occurred, Manitoba, reflecting a trend in the Canadian labor market, has shown the rise of certain occupations, becoming more in-demand and relevant. These are occupations that gave professionals overseas the chance to get more importance while moving to the province during and in the waning stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here are some of the occupations that have become in-demand jobs due to the situation that arose after the COVID-19 pandemic.
