Eligibility Requirements for Ukrainian Citizens
By regularly holding Expressions of Interest (EOI) draws for people who meet all eligibility requirements for the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program and are impacted by ongoing events in what’s happening in ukraine, Manitoba is demonstrating its commitment to supporting those impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has resulted in the immigration of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and their loved ones to Canada.
