加拿大曼尼托巴省省提名移民，推出新的项目和相关规定：主要内容为曼省省提名MPNP将出台试点项目：国际学生完成Post-Second学习之后可以直接申请省提名，不需要找到曼省的工作也不要求有工作经验，主要针对的是在曼省完成了硕士以上学历教育的申请人。这一试点项目的新规将于明年一月开始实施，这个项目实际上对曼省的很多高学历申请人，比如研究生毕业了继续就读博士的申请人非常有帮助。因为加拿大学制的关系，在曼尼托巴大学，多数专业都是需要念完master才能继续读phd，本科毕业后如果最后读博士，平均时间上整体来看读个博士比美国多了两年时间。不过福祸相依，有个master学位好处还是挺多的，这个政策就能保证硕士申请人在就读博士期间就能获得移民。
目前这个政策是试点项目，金博士本人受邀参加的曼尼托巴省移民局信息交流会上，曼尼托巴省提名办公室官员表示，目前这个项目名额前期进行试点是的名额为500人，先到先得，满额之后是否持续下去需要看后期的统计数据是否满足曼省的移民要求。这个限制名额的原因实际上也可以理解：很多高学历毕业生虽然在曼省上的学，但是拿到移民以后，毕业了可能就去别的地方工作了；比起高学历申请人，曼省首先需要的是居住在曼省的劳动力，这也是曼省省提名的首要目的。
这种试点项目的机会还是比较难得的，建议大家抓紧时间申请，我们预计项目的持续时间大约在2011年起，最多持续一年半，因为是试点项目，所以很多信息实际上并没有直接对公众明确公开。以下是曼省政府在2010年9月16日发布的官方新闻：http://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.html?item=9726
MANITOBA MAKES IT EASIER FOR INTERNATIONAL GRADUATES TO STAY AND WORK
Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger today announced changes to Manitoba’s successful provincial nominee program that would make it faster and easier for international students to stay and work in the province.
“International students bring many benefits to our economy and communities, and we want to ensure we can continue to attract and retain the best and the brightest,” said Selinger.
“We are making Manitoba a destination of choice for international students and meeting the needs of businesses by providing them with better access to highly skilled and well-trained employees.”
Beginning in 2011, international graduates from a post-secondary educational program of at least two academic years at a Manitoba institution will be able to apply immediately to the provincial nominee program in advance of receiving an offer of employment. Previously, international graduates could only apply to the provincial nominee program after working for a Manitoba employer for at least six months.
As part of the changes, international students applying for the fast-track program will also enrol in an employment-readiness program upon completion of their studies. The program will include job readiness, career coaching and job-matching services.
“By fast-tracking the immigration process for international graduates and helping them integrate into the job market, Manitoba will be well positioned to compete for and retain our highly skilled workers,” said Selinger.
2012年7月1日，项目更新：目前，这一个试点项目已经不再接受新的申请。
