The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) conducted Expression of Interest Draw #117 on May 27, 2021, issuing a total of 404
Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs). Unlike typical draws that distribute
invitations across multiple streams, this round focused exclusively on the
Skilled Worker Overseas category with candidates aligned to the federal Express
Entry system.
All 404 invitations were issued to applicants who declared a
valid Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code, highlighting Manitoba’s strategic emphasis on selecting overseas candidates with strong
federal alignment. The lowest-ranked candidate invited had a score of 601, reflecting the competitive nature of this Express Entry-focused draw while also
showing Manitoba’s effort to nominate a large pool of high-quality candidates
efficiently.
Expression of Interest Draw #117 demonstrated Manitoba’s
targeted approach to provincial nomination, prioritizing Skilled Worker
Overseas applicants with federal Express Entry profiles to facilitate faster
permanent residence processing. This draw reinforced the importance of having a
complete and strategically prepared profile, including valid Express Entry
information, to maximize selection opportunities in highly competitive rounds.
