The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) conducted Expression of Interest Draw #124 on August 12, 2021, issuing a total of 275
Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) across multiple immigration streams. This
draw reflected Manitoba’s ongoing approach of supporting in-province skilled
workers while also providing opportunities for international graduates and
selective overseas applicants.
Under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream, 238 candidates received Letters of Advice to Apply, with the lowest-ranked candidate invited
having a score of 454. The cutoff score indicated steady competition among
in-province applicants, highlighting the importance of stable employment,
strong language proficiency, and accurate Expression of Interest profile
submissions to remain competitive.
The International Education Stream accounted for 31
invitations, offering continued opportunities for eligible Manitoba graduates
who meet employment and program criteria. Although this stream does not operate
on a ranking score system, compliance with eligibility requirements and
thorough documentation remain essential for successful nomination.
Under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream, 6 candidates were
invited, with the lowest-ranked candidate having a score of 719. The high
cutoff score and limited number of invitations reflected Manitoba’s selective
approach toward overseas applicants, emphasizing the need for strong human
capital factors, occupation alignment with provincial labour demand, and
credible provincial connections.
Of the 275 Letters of Advice to Apply issued in Draw #124,
36 were granted to candidates who declared a valid Express Entry profile number
and job seeker validation code. Express Entry-aligned nominations provide
selected applicants with faster federal processing, facilitating a more
efficient pathway to Canadian permanent residence.
Expression of Interest Draw #124 demonstrated Manitoba’s
continued strategy of prioritizing skilled workers already in the province
while offering structured pathways for international graduates and selective
overseas applicants. Understanding draw trends and ranking score patterns is
essential for prospective candidates aiming for nomination in upcoming rounds.
