“ So far this year, Manitoba has sent out 9,999 invitations. ”
On November 18, Manitoba held a new immigration draw. A total of 426 immigration candidates
were invited to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) through three Provincial
Nominee Programs (PNPs):
- Skilled Workers in Manitoba — 376 invitations with a minimum EOI score of 464;
- Skilled Workers Overseas— 22 invitations with a minimum EOI score of 726; and
- International Education Stream — 30 invitations with no EOI score requirement.
- 68 went to candidates in the Express Entry system.
About Express Entry
The Canadian Experience Class, the Federal Skilled Worker Program, and the Federal Skilled Trades Program are all part of Express Entry, which is Canada’s application management system for three federal high-skilled immigration programs.
The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) is used to evaluate immigration candidates who submit a profile to the Express Entry system. Age, work experience, education, and language skills, among other things, are all given points. Through regular Express Entry draws, the highest-scoring individuals are invited to apply for permanent residency.
By applying immediately through Express Entry, it is possible to bypass the PNP process and receive a permanent residency invitation. A provincial nomination, on the other hand, earns candidates an automatic 600 points to their final CRS score, practically ensuring that they will obtain an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in a subsequent Express Entry draw.
Manitoba immigration programs
The MPNP, which supports immigration applications to the federal government, is in charge of Manitoba’s immigration programs. Provinces in Canada do not have the authority to grant permanent residency, although they can assist an application by giving provincial nominations.
To be considered for a nomination from Manitoba, you must first submit an Expression of Interest to the MPNP. This qualifies you for a LAA through the Manitoba Skilled Workers and Manitoba Skilled Workers Overseas programs.
Manitoba then assigns a score out of 1,000 – to candidates based on their human capital and connections to the province.
The Skilled Workers Overseas and Skilled Workers in Manitoba categories are intended to help Manitoba identify applicants who fit the province’s labour market requirements.
Candidates from outside of Manitoba must demonstrate ties to the province, such as close family ties, prior experience in the province, or an invitation through one of Manitoba’s Strategic Recruitment Initiatives. To be eligible, you do not need to live in Manitoba at the time of your application.
You must have a full-time employment offer from a provincial company to be eligible for an invitation under the Skilled Workers in Manitoba category.
If they can demonstrate that they have in-demand skills, international graduates who complete their education in Manitoba may be eligible for an invitation under the International Education Stream.
