How do Manitoba PNP draws work?

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) regularly conducts draws to invite eligible candidates to apply for provincial nomination. These draws are an important part of Manitoba’s immigration process, helping skilled workers, graduates, and entrepreneurs settle in the province.

During each draw, the MPNP selects candidates based on their scores in the Expression of Interest (EOI) system. Points are awarded for factors like age, education, work experience, language skills, and connections to Manitoba, such as a job offer or family in the province. Candidates with higher scores are more likely to receive an invitation.

There are different streams under the MPNP, including Skilled Workers in Manitoba, Skilled Workers Overseas, and International Education Stream. Each stream has specific criteria, and the draws target candidates who meet these requirements.

After receiving an invitation, candidates can apply for provincial nomination. If successful, this nomination gives them an additional 600 points in the Express Entry system, significantly increasing their chances of receiving a federal Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

Currently, 80% of the applications under the Manitoba PNP are being processed within 9 to 12 months.
