How does Manitoba EOI draw work?

The Manitoba Expression of Interest (EOI) draw is a key component of the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), which allows skilled foreign workers and international graduates to immigrate to the province of Manitoba, Canada. The EOI draw is a points-based system that selects candidates from a pool of potential applicants.

To participate in the EOI draw, individuals must submit an online EOI that assesses their eligibility based on factors such as age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and connections to Manitoba. Each candidate is assigned a point score using the Manitoba PNP points calculator - based on these factors, and the highest-scoring individuals are invited to apply for provincial nomination through regular draws.

During the EOI draw, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program selects candidates with the highest scores and issues them a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA) for a provincial nomination. Once an LAA is received, candidates can submit a complete application for a provincial nomination to the MPNP, providing detailed information and supporting documents.

The MPNP then assesses the applications and determines if candidates meet the eligibility requirements and demonstrate a genuine intention to reside and work in Manitoba. If approved, candidates receive a nomination certificate, which they can use to apply for permanent residence to the federal government.
