Manitoba 84th Expression of Interest Draw

Manitoba province conducted its 84th Expression of Interest (EOI) Draw under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) and issued 217 invitations to Immigration candidates planning to settle in the province. Manitoba held its 84th EOI Draw on February 27, 2020. Invitations also called Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) given to the candidates under the three main streams – Skilled Workers in Manitoba, Skilled Workers Overseas and International Education Stream. Out of 217 invitations, 161 invitations went to the Immigration candidates under Skilled Workers in Manitoba, 24 went to candidates under Skilled Workers Overseas, and the remaining 32 invitations went to the Immigration candidates under the International Education Stream. In addition to that, 20 invitations were issued to candidates with profiles in the Express Entry System.

Canada Express Entry System operates the three main economic class immigration programs – Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canada Experience Class. The eligible candidates for an Express Entry-managed program get a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on factors such as age, work experience, education, and English Language proficiency. And, the highest-scoring candidates then get invitation to apply for permanent residence in subsequent Express Entry draws.

Selected Express Entry candidates receive a provincial nomination and get an additional 600 points towards their CRS score, increasing their chances of Invitation to Apply (ITA). To be considered for Manitoba provincial nomination, Express Entry candidates need to have eligible work experience in one of Manitoba’s In-demand occupations, among other requirements and have to submit a separate Expression of Interest to the MPNP.

To be invited to apply for a provincial nomination under the Skilled Workers in Manitoba and Skilled Worker Overseas categories of MPNP, candidates have to register Expression of Interest with the MPNP. The highest-scoring candidates receive an LAA, permitting them to apply for a provincial nomination for Canada permanent residence from Manitoba. In this Manitoba’s 84th EOI Draw, candidates under the Skilled Workers in Manitoba Stream had a score of 499 and the lowest-scoring candidates had a score of 707 under the Skilled Workers Overseas Stream. 

Under the Skilled Workers Overseas Category, MPNP selects and nominates skilled foreign workers who can provide support to Manitoba’s labor market. Also, candidates need to have established connections to Manitoba such as close family or friends, past work experience or education in Manitoba, or invitation under one of the MPNP’s Strategic Recruitment Initiatives, among other requirements. Also, 24 candidates received invitation under the Skilled Workers Overseas Stream under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative. On the other hand, candidates invited under the Skilled Workers in Manitoba Category should be working in Manitoba and have a full-time, permanent employment offer from their employer, among other criteria.

Internation students who graduated from Manitoba can apply under the International Education Stream if their skills are in demand. The Manitoba International Graduation Stream includes three main categories such as Career Employment Pathway, Graduate Internship Pathway, and the Student Entrepreneur Pathway.
