Manitoba conducted Expression of Interest Draw #217 on May
2, 2024, issuing a total of 941 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) across
multiple Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) streams. This draw focused
on occupation-specific selections, international graduates, and targeted
overseas recruitment to meet Manitoba’s evolving labour market needs.
Under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream, candidates
currently employed in Manitoba in occupations identified as high-demand were
considered. This included nurse aides, orderlies, and patient service
associates (NOC 33102), retail and wholesale trade managers (NOC 60020), general construction trades (NOC 731), as well as roles within administrative,
financial, supply chain, and technical occupations (NOC 12, 14, 22). A total of 488 LAAs were issued in this category, reflecting Manitoba’s targeted approach
to filling critical workforce gaps.
The International Education Stream issued 427 LAAs to
candidates who met eligibility requirements, highlighting Manitoba’s commitment
to retaining international graduates who have already integrated into the
provincial workforce.
For the Skilled Worker Overseas stream, 26 candidates were
invited under a strategic recruitment initiative, with the lowest-ranked
candidate scoring 796. This stream continues to support Manitoba employers in
attracting skilled workers from outside the province.
Of the 941 LAAs issued in this draw, 181 were granted to
candidates who declared a valid Express Entry profile number and job seeker
validation code, providing a streamlined pathway from provincial nomination to
federal permanent residence.
This draw underscores Manitoba’s balanced approach to
immigration, combining local occupation-specific recruitment, retention of
international graduates, and targeted overseas selection.
