125 Immigrants invited in the latest MPNP provincial draw for Canada PR Visa

The 93rd Manitoba PNP Draw was held on July 2. A total of 125 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAA) have been issued by Manitoba to applicants for immigration. The purpose of LAAs is to invite applicants to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residence in Canada.

The LAAs were issued to applicants for the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) in the following streams:

• Skilled Workers in Manitoba: 101 points
• Skilled Worker Overseas: 6 points
• International Education Stream: 18 points

The ranking score for the lowest-ranked invited candidate in the Manitoba Skilled Worker stream was 475. It was 816 points for candidates invited in the Skilled Worker Overseas stream. Ten candidates had profiles in the federal Express Entry system.

Manitoba issued LAAs to 2,460 applicants in 2020.

Immigration applicants must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the province if they wish to receive an LAA under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba or Skilled Worker Overseas streams.

Applicants are assessed based on human capital factors such as language skills, work experience, education, ties to Manitoba, and other factors. They are ranked on 1000 points.

Applicants in the Overseas Skilled Worker and Skilled Worker Manitoba categories help the province meet its economic needs.

If a candidate is abroad, they must show that they have ties to Manitoba, such as having close family or friends in the province. Previous life experience in Manitoba or an invitation to one of the province’s strategic recruitment initiatives can also make a candidate eligible. These people do not need to live in the province when they apply.

To be eligible for the Manitoba Skilled Worker stream, you must meet criteria such as a full-time, permanent job offer in Manitoba.

To receive an LAA through the International Education stream, a candidate must meet criteria such as having graduated from an educational institution in Manitoba.
