Step # 2

Contact the Business Immigration and Investment Branch at 204-945-1872, or by email at: pnp-b@gov.mb.ca to arrange for a visit to Manitoba minimum seven (7) days to explore the various options that are available to you in the province. This visit will include an interview with an immigration officer.

Step # 3

Send your completed application for the Manitoba Young Farmer Nominee Program to the Business Immigration and Investment Branch.

Step # 4

If your application is accepted for nomination, you will be required to sign a Cash Deposit Agreement (contract) and make a deposit of $75,000 into a bank account in Manitoba. You will foward your original Federal Immigration forms, required processing fees and Right of Permanent Residence fees to a Canadian Visa office that serves your area (address will be provided to you at that time).

Step# 5

The Canadian Embassy will review the file, conduct a security and health check, and may request an interview with you. At their discretion, they may issue you (and your dependents, if applicable) a Permanent Resident Visa.

Step # 6

On arrival in Manitoba, contact the Manitoba Business Immigration and Investment Branch to receive settlement and related business information. Once your investment has been verified in the farm business area you have proposed, your $75,000 (CDN) deposit will be returned to you. Any changes to the Cash Deposit Agreement must be discussed and approved by the Business Immigration and Investment Branch before you start your business (including the type of farming activity).
