On October 7, 2022, the Government of Manitoba clarified the new temporary policy introduced by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The provincial government defined that the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) criteria for qualifying work in Manitoba has not changed.
Only those with a work permit from IRCC are eligible to apply to the MPNP's Skilled Worker in Manitoba pathway.
The MPNP does not accept periods of employment when students are engaged in full-time study as they do not hold a work permit. Qualifying work experience in Manitoba includes work completed with a valid post-graduation work permit or another work permit.

On October 6, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced new policy changes to the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP).
For students who start their distance learning program between September 1, 2022, and August 31, 2023, time spent studying online outside of Canada until August 31, 2023, will be counted toward the overall length of the PGWP as long as it does not exceed 50% of the program.
In addition, the Government also added new guidelines for officers to use while assessing PGWP applications of students who studied their programs between March 2020 and August 31, 2022.

The Government of Canada will announce a new Immigration Levels Plan on November 1, 2022.
This will be the second Plan released in 2022 under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
As part of the Immigration Levels Plan for 2022-2024, Canada aims to welcome 431,645 new permanent residents in 2022.
This target gradually increases each year and reaches 451,000 by 2024. Each year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) publishes an Immigration Levels Plan that provides the framework for how many immigrants will be permitted to immigrate to Canada.
This year's Plan will reveal projections for 2023, 2024, and 2025.
