For the Manitoba PNP scheme a friend can help increase ones point. Is there a definition of friend that he should be a PR or someone living in Manitoba for more than 1 year but is a student (student visa) also considered?

No. Must be a Canadian citizen or PR.

"A friend or distant relative in Manitoba who is a Permanent Resident or Citizen of Canada, has been residing in Manitoba for at least one year, is economically established and is not currently supporting the settlement of another applicant through the MPNP. "
They WILL check the bona fides of the claimed connection by contacting the person named.

There appears to nothing specific however the whole purpose of a friend being included is to be able to support an applicants settlement plan so cannot see how it could acceptable to just sign up for the application and then leave the province. As said there is nothing specific but would expect that until the COPR is issued IRCC could check with the friend at any time both for validity of friend and also residency in the province

Important: The MPNP requires up-to-date contact information for your Manitoba supporter. Your supporter MUST inform the MPNP if they move to a new address or there are any other changes to their contact information. If the MPNP is unable to contact your supporter using the information on file, your application may be refused.
