Do you need a Job Offer for MPNP

[Natonstan]

Looking at the government site, the number of requirements such as age, experience, education etc. don't mention needing a job offer, also the Experience section mentions something about having the right experience to be able to find a job, does this mean they can accept you based on your ability to be able to get a job quickly?

You need to fulfil one of these 4 criteria:

A. You are currently working in Manitoba as a temporary foreign worker with a valid temporary work permit and have been working for at least six months.

B. As an International Student you graduated from a publicly funded Manitoba post-secondary institution in at least a one-year program for which you received a certificate, diploma or degree, you have an offer of a long-term, full-time job from a Manitoba employer and have been working in that job at least six months with a valid post-graduation work permit.

C. You have been invited to apply under a Strategic Initiative.

D. You have a strong connection to Manitoba through having family who live in the province, and you meet the following five factors...

You can read about option C, strategic initiative here: http://www2.immigratemanitoba.com/browse/howtoimmigrate/strategic/

For example, if you meet the criteria listed here: http://www2.immigratemanitoba.com/browse/howtoimmigrate/strategic/pnp-exploratory-visits.html you can contact them and see if they would be interested in interviewing you. If they are, you can undertake an exploratory visit and talk to them and they may decide that they will nominate you without a job offer.
