What This Draw Means
-
Targeted Approach
Manitoba focused on smaller, strategic invitations rather than large draws, aiming for candidates with strong ties to the province. -
Focus on Communities
The largest portion of invitations went to Francophone candidates, followed by regional communities and employer-driven candidates. This supports both language diversity and regional settlement. -
Express Entry and Temporary Workers
Candidates with Express Entry profiles may benefit from faster processing and additional points for permanent residence. Temporary workers were also included, allowing them a path to stay in Canada long-term.
Comparison to Previous Draws
This draw was slightly larger than the previous one in October, which issued 29 invitations. Manitoba continues to use both large-volume and smaller, targeted draws to meet different immigration goals, such as regional development and retention of skilled workers.
Tips for Candidates
-
Strengthen ties to Manitoba through employers, community involvement, or Francophone connections.
-
Keep your Express Entry profile and job-seeker validation code current for faster processing.
-
Stay up to date with your EOI profile and ensure all your documents and credentials are valid.
Conclusion
The November 6, 2025 draw shows Manitoba’s commitment to a targeted immigration strategy, focusing on candidates most likely to settle and thrive in the province. Connections to Manitoba matter as much as eligibility, so candidates are encouraged to highlight their local ties.
