International Education Stream – Graduate Internship Pathway
This pathway gives international master's and doctoral graduates in Manitoba a faster nomination route when they have completed a Mitacs Elevate or Accelerate internship with an eligible Manitoba industry or research partner. No job offer is required, and graduates can apply immediately after completing their degree. The MPNP confirmed in June 2026 that this pathway remains in place, and it continues to issue invitations in EOI draws.
