Dear future neighbour,
On February 6, 2025, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) conducted its latest draw, issuing a total of 76 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) to candidates across two streams:
International Education Stream
- Number of LAAs Issued: 59
- Eligibility Criteria: Candidates were required to meet the International Education Stream’s eligibility requirements and possess at least four years of full-time work experience within the past five years.
Skilled Worker Overseas Stream
- Number of LAAs Issued: 17
- Minimum Comprehensive Ranking Score (CRS): 612
- Selection Criteria: Candidates were directly invited by the MPNP under a strategic recruitment initiative.
Notably, of the 76 LAAs issued in this draw, 18 were extended to candidates who declared a valid Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code.
Next Steps for Invited Candidates
Invited candidates have 60 days to submit a complete application for Canadian Permanent Residency, including all necessary documentation. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the application becoming invalid.
Understanding the MPNP
The MPNP is designed to attract skilled workers and international graduates to Manitoba, addressing the province’s labor market and economic needs. The program offers a streamlined pathway to permanent residence, supporting Manitoba’s economic and workforce requirements.
Expression of Interest (EOI) System
To begin the immigration process through the MPNP, candidates must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). This online profile involves answering questions to determine eligibility, resulting in an EOI ranking score. Selected candidates receive a provincial nomination, significantly expediting the process of obtaining Canadian Permanent Residency.
EOI Ranking Factors
The EOI ranking system evaluates candidates based on six factors:
- Age: Maximum 75 points
- Language Proficiency: Maximum 125 points
- Education: Maximum 125 points
- Work Experience: Maximum 175 points
- Adaptability: Maximum 500 points
- Risk Assessment: Maximum 200 points
On average, 80% of applications under the MPNP are processed within 8-10 months.
This draw underscores Manitoba’s commitment to attracting skilled individuals and international graduates to contribute to the province’s economic growth and labor market needs.
