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.
Do you require assistance with securing a visitor visa for Canada, seeking professional aid in submitting a visa or work permit application, crafting an Expression of Interest, setting up an express entry or provincial nomination profile, preparing your application after receiving an invitation to apply, or simply reviewing your self-prepared application?
