The
Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) conducted Expression of Interest
(EOI) Draw #69 on July 5, 2019, issuing a total of 354 Letters of Advice to
Apply (LAAs) across its skilled worker, international graduate, and overseas
streams. This draw reflected Manitoba’s continued focus on selecting highly
skilled candidates to meet provincial labour market needs.
Skilled Worker in Manitoba
The Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream issued 85 invitations.
Lowest-ranked candidate invited: 565
The cutoff score indicated moderate competition among
in-province applicants. Candidates with stable employment, relevant work
experience, and strong language proficiency were best positioned to secure
invitations.
International Education Stream
Under the International Education Stream (IES), 21 Letters
of Advice to Apply were issued to eligible Manitoba graduates.
This stream does not operate on a ranking-based system.
Candidates must meet eligibility criteria, including graduation from an
approved Manitoba post-secondary institution and obtaining qualifying
employment. Proper documentation and compliance with program requirements
remain essential for successful nomination.
Skilled Worker Overseas – Strategic
Recruitment
The Skilled Worker Overseas stream issued 45 invitations to
candidates directly invited by the MPNP under strategic recruitment
initiatives.
Lowest-ranked candidate invited: 619
These invitations highlighted Manitoba’s selective overseas
recruitment approach. Successful candidates typically demonstrated strong human
capital factors, including education credentials, skilled work experience,
language proficiency, and credible connections to Manitoba aligned with
provincial labour market priorities.
Of the 354 LAAs issued, 91 were granted to candidates who
declared a valid Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code.
Express Entry-aligned candidates benefit from accelerated
federal processing once nominated. Manitoba nominations provide an additional
600 Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, significantly improving the
likelihood of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent
residence.
Expression of Interest Draw #69 demonstrated Manitoba’s
balanced and strategic immigration approach, supporting skilled workers in the
province, international graduates, and selective overseas applicants.
Monitoring MPNP draw trends, cutoff scores, and stream-specific eligibility
requirements remains essential for prospective candidates planning their
Manitoba immigration pathway.
