https://youtu.be/SgFjUkbwlgY?si=Tfi-12A2IyVzyPJ4 The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) held a new draw on March 21, 2025, and the results have confirmed what many immigration experts anticipated — rising cutoff scores and reduced invitations across key streams. In the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream, only candidates who completed their post-secondary education in Manitoba and scored a minimum of 844 points were invited.This is notably higher than the score in the first draw of 2025, indicating an increasingly competitive environment for international graduates hoping to secure permanent residency through MPNP. The Skilled Worker Overseas stream saw just seven invitations, with a minimum score of 705. This sharp decline highlights the impact of the 2025 MPNP quota reduction, which cut Manitoba’s total nominations by 50%, down from 9,500 to 4,750. Why Are MPNP Scores Increasing in 2025? The answer lies in the numbers. With fewer nominations available, the province is prioritizing high-scoring applicants — a shift that directly affects Manitoba international graduates and Skilled Worker Overseas candidates. These changes align with our earlier prediction: cutoff scores would increase across all streams due to reduced federal quotas. The March 21 MPNP draw confirms this trend. What Does This Mean for Future Applicants? If you’re planning to apply for permanent residency through the Manitoba PNP, you’ll need to adopt a data-driven and strategic approach. Simply graduating from a Manitoba institution is no longer enough. Applicants must now focus on optimizing every part of their profile — from language scores and work experience to location and adaptability points.

https://youtu.be/YSRfZTB9hIU?si=auU7vG8sco-aTEFI The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) conducted a record-breaking draw on April 3, 2025! But not in a way many were expecting. This draw marked the smallest number of invitations ever issued in MPNP history, with only 4 candidates invited under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream. The minimum CRS score required was 721. While the number of invitees so far in 2025 (243) is similarto the same period in 2024 (224), major structural changes are unfolding thatall prospective immigrants must understand. The biggest factor influencing this historic drop in invitations is the drastic cut to Manitoba’s 2025 immigration nomination quota from 9500 to 4750. This means a large portion of the 2025 quota is already being used to process the 8,224 applicants who received invitations last year. As a result, most 2025 EOIs will likely only lead to nominations in 2026, not this year.   If you’ve submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) this year, you must prepare for: Longer wait times Higher CRS cut-offs Increased competition within streams like Skilled Worker Overseas, which now dominate the draws The April 3rd draw is a clear indicator that only top-scoring applicants with Manitoba ties or job offers are currently being selected. You Can Improve Your Chances to stay competitive in this environment. Here are a few ways:                  1.  Retake your language test (IELTS/CELPIP) for a better score Gain additional work experience if possible Secure a job offer or strengthen your Manitoba connection Explore other PNP programs or federal streams like Express Entry The April 3rd MPNP draw sends a powerful message to applicants: high scores, strong documentation, and strategic planning are more important than ever in 2025.

https://youtu.be/YmKP50E7kAg?si=lMlYfl0aDWOLhKCp The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) has always been a key route for international students looking to stay in Canada. But in 2025, that path has become steeper than ever. The MPNP quota has been slashed by 50%, dropping from 9,500 nominations in 2024 to just 4,750 this year. This change follows a federal directive to reduce immigration levels and shift focus away from international student retention. The first two draws of 2025 have introduced high and restrictive criteria. To be selected, applicants needed to meet conditions like: 4 years of full-time work experience in the last 5 years A master’s degree A close relative in Manitoba These are not easy conditions to meet; especially for recent graduates who may have just entered the workforce. Let’s look at the numbers: In 2024, there were 5 general draws with scores ranging from 823 to 872 In 2025, only one general draw occurred with a sky-high cutoff of 861 Compared to that, the maximum score a Manitoba graduate can earn just 785 (Watch video for explanation). That means even top-performing graduates are being left behind. Let’s be honest! An MPNP nomination is nearly impossible right now for most Manitoba graduates. The program has shifted toward highly skilled, highly experienced professionals, and short-term PGWP holders are at a major disadvantage.
