remote work

[gsq7430]

Hi I live in MB, it seems PNP requires me to get a job offer from an eligible Manitoba employer. But many employers just put "Canada remote" as location. So if a national wide employer (eg. RBC which has branches around Canada, including MB) offers me a remote job which doesn't clarify the exact location, does it count as Manitoba employer? Thanks in advance.

No, the contract should also state Manitoba as the address of your employment. The employer would also need to be registered with MPNP, not just any employer from anywhere in Canada letting you work remotely. Your work must directly contribute benefits to the Manitoban economy, which usually entails having a business with an established presence in that province.

Thanks for your explanation! Just curious do you know how can I check if an employer is registered with MPNP? Is there a list or something?

No list - your employer or their HR department would know if they're registered or used MPNP to recruit temp foreign workers.
