The Manitoba draw news came out on 1st of June, 2023, where we learned that around 589 candidates received letters to apply for PR.
These letters of advice to apply for permanent residency are, no doubt, sent by the Manitoba government to candidates. Candidates received the letters of advice to apply for the permanent residency of Manitoba.
If you have secured yourself a letter of advice, then you can start working in the province. A Canadian work visa lets you work anywhere in Canada if you have applied for it through Express Entry. However, since you applied for permanent residency in Manitoba, you could only work in this particular province.
Now, let’s go ahead and understand this in detail below.

- Draw Date- 1 June, 2023
- Letters of Advice to Apply- 589

- Lowest Ranking Candidate- 607
This is the 181st Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) draw. Manitoba regularly conducts these draws so that it could invite skillful candidates in the province who help in the financial growth of the local economy.
The invited candidates are the ones that submitted their Expression of Interest profile. When you are applying to this EOI pool, you are putting your profile with other eligible candidates in that pool. When the draws are conducted, candidates are basically selected from this pool. Those with higher CRS scores tend to receive letters of advice to apply sooner.
Thus, if you also want to be selected, you need to aim for a higher CRS score.
