Manitoba held a new draw inviting 213 candidates to apply for a provincial nomination on August 28.
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) invited skilled workers and international graduate students through three immigration streams: Manitoba Skilled Worker, Overseas Skilled Worker, and International Education Stream.
The invitations, also known as Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs), were distributed as follows with their respective Expression of Interest (EOI) score requirements:
The province has issued 3,299 LAAs to applicants in these categories to date in 2020. This was Manitoba’s 97th draw since the program began in April 2014.
Express entry linked MPNP stream
Of the LAAs issued in the August 28 draw, 23 were awarded to applicants with a valid profile in the federal Express Entry system.
Applicants who qualify for the Express Entry pool are ranked based on a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score that takes into account human capital factors such as age, work experience, education, and language skills.
Top-rated applicants are invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada through regular draws in the Express Entry pool. Those who receive a provincial nomination receive an additional 600 CRS points and are effectively guaranteed an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada.
Express Entry applicants who received a Manitoba provincial nomination in this draw have declared a valid Express Entry ID and provided a Job Seeker Validation Code.
Basic of Manitoba PNP
Individuals wishing to immigrate under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) must register an expression of interest with the MPNP to receive an LAA through the Skilled Worker in Manitoba and Skilled Worker Overseas streams.
In the Manitoba system, these applicants are ranked out of 1,000 points for human capital characteristics such as their English or French language skills, education, work experience, relationship with Manitoba, and other factors.
The Skilled Worker Overseas Category and Skilled Workers in Manitoba allow the province to nominate skilled workers who can meet the needs of the Manitoba labor market.
People who are abroad must have an established connection with Manitoba. This can be evidenced by close family ties or friends in the province, previous experience in Manitoba, or an invitation to one of MPNP’s strategic recruitment initiatives.
Applicants do not need to be physically present in Manitoba at the time of application to be eligible. Successful applicants in the Manitoba Skilled Worker category must meet certain criteria, such as having a permanent full-time job offer from a Manitoba employer.
International students who have graduated from an educational institution in Manitoba may receive an LAA under the International Education stream if they have in-demand skills.

Ever since I have spoken to Team Nationwide, I have received all kinds of support I have looked for, starting from transcripts to IELTS coaching, they have helped me with everything. I already have referred three of my friends to them because of the fabulous service delivered by them and shall be doing it in the future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I decided to opt for Nationwide Visas for preparing my application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Today, my parents are proud of me for making the right choice, it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences me more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got reference for Nationwide Visas through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of Team Nationwide. They explained the documentation process in detail and made the correct recommendations that I cherish now.
Before initiating the immigration process, I was a bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained the whole process to me over the phone without trying to sell their service, I felt assured. I did not give it a second thought and initiated my immigration process. All the case managers at Nationwide Visas are well-versed with the process and never fall short of expectations whenever I walk up to them with any queries.
For the past 4 months, I had been struggling with understanding the immigration process and was looking for a consultant who could not only explain the process, but also guide me regarding what all options were available to me. So, after reading their reviews, I approached Nationwide Visas, and true to their reviews, they explained the whole process to me while also giving me clear information about the chances I had at securing Canada PR Visa.
