Explore PR OptionsUse this calculator to estimate your score under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO) selection grid. The grid is scored out of 100 points. You generally need at least 60 points AND a qualifying Manitoba connection to satisfy these initial SWO criteria.
Complete five short sections to see your estimated score. No personal details required.
Enter your official language levels. Use the lowest score across listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Your age and documented skilled work experience.
Choose your highest completed qualification.
A Manitoba supporter is required for the family/friend connection routes. Other qualifying routes may rely on previous Manitoba work/study or a strategic recruitment invitation.
For a family/friend connection, you must have an eligible Manitoba Supporter—not merely know someone in the province.
These answers help identify missing evidence; they do not change the points.
Before calculating: Your Manitoba connection and valid language results must be independently verified. A score of 60 does not guarantee nomination.

The following grid applies to the Skilled Worker Overseas pathway. It does not represent the separate EOI ranking system.
| Factor | Maximum points |
|---|---|
| First and second official language | 25 |
| Age | 10 |
| Work experience | 15 |
| Education | 25 |
| Adaptability, including regional bonus | 25 |
| Total | 100 |
A score of 60 or higher is insufficient without a qualifying Manitoba connection. If relying on a friend or relative, you need an eligible and willing Manitoba Supporter. A supporter is not universally required where the applicant instead qualifies through previous Manitoba education or employment, or an MPNP strategic recruitment invitation. Merely visiting Manitoba does not establish a qualifying invitation.
The SWO eligibility grid totals 100 points. After meeting the relevant stream requirements, applicants may enter the separate MPNP Expression of Interest system, which uses a different ranking scale and can account for language, employment, regional connections and risk factors. A 60/100 SWO score is not an EOI draw cut-off.
Official language results must be from an approved test and valid at application. The calculator uses the lowest reported CLB/NCLC across the four abilities as a conservative input; candidates should verify the conversion of each test module. Employment history, settlement funds, occupational requirements and genuine intent to live in Manitoba must also be assessed.
