Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) has conducted a new draw under its Expression of Interest (EOI) system.

The Manitoba PNP latest draw held on August 31, 2023, saw invitations being issued to 288 candidates under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream. Invited candidates also required CRS scores of 600 to be eligible to receive an ITA for Canadian permanent residency (PR).

This was also Manitoba’s first-of-its-kind Region-Specific draw for Skilled Workers in Manitoba.

Expression of Interest Draw #192

Skilled Worker in Manitoba

Region-specific selection

Profiles declaring current employment in Manitoba and who declared the intention to reside in a community outside of the city of Winnipeg were considered.

• Number of LAAs issued: 288
• Ranking of the lowest-ranked candidate invited: 600

Of the 288 invitations issued in this draw, 127 were issued to candidates who declared a valid Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code.

The August 31st draw is a continuation of Manitoba conducting back-to-back invitation rounds with higher ITAs and lower CRS scores. The draws being conducted by Manitoba PNP in 2023, clearly indicate that the province seeks to increase the number of candidates eligible to receive a provincial nomination under its MPNP-managed streams.

Skilled Worker in Manitoba: An Overview

Manitoba PNP’s Skilled Worker pathway which includes both “Skilled Worker Overseas” and “Skilled Workers in Manitoba” streams, is locally driven and based on the needs of Manitoba employers. Through this stream, MPNP selects internationally trained and experienced workers who have the skills needed in the local labor market - and nominates them to apply for Canada PR - to settle and work in the province.

The MPNP invites the highest-scoring candidates in the pool to submit a full application to the MPNP on a regular basis. MPNP draws are usually held on a bi-weekly basis - with some exceptions. The frequency, size, and date of the next draws are determined by the needs of the MPNP application inventory.

The current processing time to immigrate to Canada under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program is 8 to 12 months.
