Dear future neighbour,

On February 20, 2025, Manitoba held its latest Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) draw and issued 41 invitations to apply for provincial nominations. These invitations were sent to candidates under two main streams:

1. International Education Stream (IES):

  • 19 invitations were given to candidates who are international graduates from Manitoba’s educational institutions. To be eligible, applicants needed to:
  • Have a master’s degree or higher; and
  • Have a Manitoba supporter who:
    • Is a close relative,
    • Is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and
    • Has lived in Manitoba for at least one year.

2. Skilled Worker Overseas Stream (SWOS):

  • 22 invitations were given to candidates outside of Canada who were invited directly by Manitoba’s PNP, often through recruitment initiatives. The minimum score required for this stream was 711.

Additionally, 7 of the 41 invitations were extended to candidates who had an active Express Entry profile, signaling a faster immigration process under the federal Express Entry system.

The Manitoba PNP is a great opportunity for skilled workers, international students, and others who are eligible to live and work in the province. If you’re interested in applying, it’s important to meet the eligibility criteria for each stream and submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to be considered in future draws.

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.
