Manitoba PNP CRS drops!

The February 9th EOI draw is a continuation of Manitoba conducting draws with low score requirements. In the previous EOI draw held on January 26,

• Candidates from Skilled Workers in Manitoba required a minimum score of 726, whereas
• Candidates from the Skilled Worker Overseas required a minimum score of 713. 

With back-to-back draws being conducted with higher ITAs and lower scores by Manitoba - it is a clear indication that the province targets to increase the number of candidates eligible to receive a provincial nomination under MPNP-managed streams.

Immigrating under MPNP in 2023

Launched in 1998, Manitoba was the first Canadian province to establish its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) currently manages five key streams – designed to “support & sustain” the province’s economy.

• Skilled Workers in Manitoba
• International Education
• Skilled Worker Overseas
• Manitoba Business Investor
• Modern Community Driven

Candidates wanting to apply for a provincial nomination are mandated to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the MPNP. Based on the provided answers, candidates complete a series of questions online and receive EOI Ranking Points in the Manitoba PNP points calculator. Their profile is then entered into a pool of all eligible candidates. Manitoba then invites the highest-scoring candidates in the pool to submit a full application to the MPNP on a regular basis.

MPNP issues ITAs to eligible candidates on a monthly basis, with some exceptions. The frequency, size, and date of the Manitoba PNP next draw prediction – are determined by the needs of the MPNP application inventory.
