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.

https://youtu.be/c0nu-HAf12Y?si=sQpQhzWi2MQXI63h With Manitoba’s Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) facing major changes in 2025, understanding each Skilled Worker stream is more important than ever. If you’re applying blindly, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.  Skilled Worker Manitoba: This year, Manitoba’s nomination quota has been slashed from 9,500 to just 4,750—that’s a 50% cut. And yes, scores are going up across the board. Skilled Workers in Manitoba is one of the most popular streams for applicants already working in Manitoba. In 2024, the selected applicant’s score Ranged from 823 – 872. This year, the score will continue to rise due to reduced quotas and increased competition. Close Relative in Manitoba This stream is for applicants with close family ties (siblings, parents, etc.) living in Manitoba. In 2024, the Score started from 607 and ended at 840.  We are expecting a tighter cutoff, especially if demand continues to grow. Manitoba Graduates Graduates of Manitoba post-secondary institutions, often on Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP), fall into this stream. Last year, the score Ranged from 772 to 845. And in 2 draws of 2025, the scores were 838 and 844. Occupation-Specific Selection This stream was originally wide open for anyone in a listed occupation, like healthcare workers, transport drivers, and tradespeople. Early in 2024, all qualifying applicants under targeted NOC codes were invited and later, the selection became more competitive, based on both occupation +score.

https://youtu.be/7be25M1ToSA?si=FpGV6V2AIHIjjdWE When it comes to the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), especially the Skilled Worker stream, one thing is clear: if you don’t spot the trend, you can’t predict what’s next. And the trend is shifting fast!  Let’s take a look at what’s happened over the past five years: 2021: 6,497 applicants were invited 2022: Dropped to 4,374 2023: Jumped significantly to 10,099 2024: Cut down to just 3,013 And the number is  Expected to be around 3,017 — that’s less than 70% of the 2023intake This sharp fluctuation shows just how unpredictable immigration can be—and why you need to stay informed. A few major developments are behind this drop: Federal Policy Shifts – influencing how many nominations each province can issue Reduced MPNP Quota – Manitoba’s overall allocation was slashed from 9,500 in 2024 to just 4,750 in 2025 These factors have caused a 50% cut to Skilled Worker invitations in just one year. And because of this reduction, scores are rising across all Skilled Worker Manitoba (SWM) categories. Simply being eligible is no longer enough, you need to be strategically positioned to stand out.
