Manitoba invites 188 in new PNP draw

Manitoba invited 118 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination on December 30 through Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) under skilled workers and international graduates to apply to one of the following three immigration streams:

• Skilled Workers in Manitoba
• International Education Stream
• Skilled Workers Overseas

The number of invitations or Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) with their required minimum Expression of Interest (EOI) scores are as follows:

• Skilled Workers in Manitoba – 157 LAAs with a score of at least 461
• Skilled Workers Overseas – 13 LAAs with a score of at least 718
• International Education Stream – 18 LAAs, no EOI score requirement

Out of the 118 LAAs issued, 13 invitations were Express Entry candidates. MPNP will refuse any of these candidates who do not have a valid Express Entry ID, a job seeker validation code, and verifiable experience in an occupation on Manitoba’s In-demand Occupations list.

MPNP only considered Skilled Worker Overseas candidates in this draw if they were directly invited under a strategic recruitment initiative.

If candidates scored higher than the minimum ranking, but did not receive an LAA, it could be because of the following reason:

• Their third-party language test did not have a valid test number;
• Their language test is no longer valid; or
• The candidate was invited under a strategic recruitment initiative, but they did not send a valid invitation number.

All the candidates who are in one of these scenarios can update their EOI profile with the correct information in order to be considered for the next draw.

Candidates who are working in a regulated occupation have been invited in this draw. MPNP may refuse candidates who are not actually working in a regulated occupation, or who do not provide proof of having completed all licensing steps to be employed in Manitoba. Those who are in this situation have the option to decline their LAA.
