The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) conducted Expression of Interest Draw #119 on June 17, 2021, issuing a total of 141
Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) across multiple immigration streams. This
draw reflected Manitoba’s ongoing focus on supporting skilled workers in the
province while maintaining selective opportunities for international graduates
and overseas applicants.
Under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream, 95 candidates received Letters of Advice to Apply, with the lowest-ranked candidate invited
having a score of 430. The cutoff score demonstrated moderate competition among
in-province applicants, reinforcing the importance of stable employment, strong
language proficiency, and accurate Expression of Interest profile submissions
to remain competitive in this stream.
The International Education Stream accounted for 22
invitations in this draw, continuing to provide opportunities for eligible
Manitoba graduates who meet employment and program criteria. While this stream
does not operate on a traditional ranking score system, careful compliance with
eligibility requirements and complete documentation remain essential to secure
nomination.
Under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream, 24 candidates were
invited, with the lowest-ranked candidate having a score of 703. The high
cutoff score and limited number of invitations reflected Manitoba’s selective
approach toward overseas applicants. Strong human capital factors, occupation
alignment with provincial labour needs, and credible provincial connections
were critical for competitiveness in this category.
Of the 141 Letters of Advice to Apply issued in Draw #119,
10 were granted to candidates who declared a valid Express Entry profile number
and job seeker validation code. Express Entry-aligned nominations provide
applicants with the advantage of faster federal processing, facilitating a
smoother path to permanent residence.
Expression of Interest Draw #119 demonstrated Manitoba’s
balanced strategy of prioritizing in-province skilled workers, offering
structured opportunities to international graduates, and maintaining selective
invitations for overseas applicants. Understanding draw patterns and ranking
score trends is essential for prospective candidates seeking nomination in
upcoming rounds.
