Manitoba held a new round of invitations on October 21, 2021

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) invited a total of 459 immigration candidates in three Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).

Skilled Workers in Manitoba — 388 invitations with a minimum score of 375;
Skilled Workers Overseas — 39 invitations with a minimum score of 716; and
International Education Stream — 37 invitations with no score requirement.
Among these invitations, 94 went to candidates in the Express Entry system.

If you want to benefit from a nomination from Manitoba, you need to register an Expression of Interest (EOI) with the MPNP. This puts you in a position to receive an LAA through the Skilled Workers in Manitoba and Skilled Workers Overseas streams.

Manitoba then ranks candidates out of 1,000 points for their human capital factors, as well as their connections to the province.

The Skilled Workers Overseas Category and Skilled Workers in Manitoba categories are designed to allow the province to identify candidates who meet its labour market needs.

Candidates overseas need to demonstrate connections to Manitoba through the likes of close family ties, previous experience in the province, or an invitation through one of Manitoba’s Strategic Recruitment Initiatives. You do not need to be living in Manitoba at the time of your application to be eligible.
