Manitoba PNP: 459 candidates invited to apply for MPNP

Manitoba will award a total of 9,150 invites in 2021 as a result of the revised draw

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) invited 459 immigration candidates across three Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). 388 invites were sent out to skilled workers in Manitoba, with a minimum score of 375. Also, 39 invites were sent out to skilled Workers Overseas, with a minimum score of 716, and 37 candidates (with no score requirement) were invited under the International Education Stream. Among these invitations, 94 went to candidates in the Express Entry system.

The CEC (Canadian Experience Class), the FSWP (Federal Skilled Worker Program), and the FSTP (Federal Skilled Trades Program) are all part of the Express Entry system, wherein Express Entry is Canada's application management system for three federal high-skilled immigration programs.

The Comprehensive Ranking System or CRS is used to evaluate immigration candidates who have submitted a profile to the Express Entry system (CRS). Points are awarded based on age, employment experience, education, and language ability, among other factors. The highest-scoring people are then asked to apply for permanent residency through regular Express Entry draws.

It is possible to circumvent the PNP procedure and obtain a permanent residency invitation by applying directly through Express Entry. A provincial nomination, on the other hand, gets candidates an automatic 600 CRS points, almost assuring that they will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in a subsequent Express Entry lottery.

Programs for immigrants in Manitoba

Manitoba's immigration programs are managed by the MPNP, which facilitates immigration applications to the federal government. Provinces in Canada do not have the jurisdiction to award permanent status, although they can help applicants by providing provincial nominations.

You must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the MPNP in order to be considered for a nomination from Manitoba. You are now eligible for an LAA through the Manitoba Skilled Workers and Manitoba Skilled Workers Overseas programs. Manitoba then awards candidates a score out of 1,000 based on their human capital and links to the province. The categories Skilled Workers Overseas and Skilled Workers in Manitoba are meant to assist Manitoba in finding candidates who meet the province's labour market standards.

Candidates from outside Manitoba must demonstrate links to the province in form of family ties, prior experience in the province, or an invitation through one of Manitoba's Strategic Recruitment Initiatives. To be eligible, you do not need to be a Manitoba resident at the time of your application. You must have a full-time work offer from a provincial firm to be eligible for an invitation under the Skilled Workers in Manitoba category.

If international graduates finish their studies in Manitoba and exhibit in-demand skills, they may be eligible for an invitation under the International Education Stream.
