Yes, you can apply for MPNP without a job offer if you are applying under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream and have a strong connection to Manitoba. Acceptable connections include having close relatives in the province, having completed previous education or work experience in Manitoba, or receiving an invitation through a Strategic Recruitment Initiative. However, if you do not have such a connection, you’ll typically need a valid job offer from a Manitoba employer. For the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream, a job offer or ongoing employment is generally required.
