Overview of Current Manitoba PNP Draw

On August 24, 2023, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) carried out yet another round of invitations under its Expression of Interest (EOI) system. A total of 623 candidates received Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) for provincial nomination across three distinct categories: Skilled Workers in Manitoba, the International Education Stream, and Skilled Worker Overseas.

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores for these invites ranged from 612 to 724. This means candidates within this scoring range stood a chance to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

Trends and Frequency

The frequency of these draws tends to be bi-weekly, but Manitoba flexes this schedule based on their needs. It's clear from the recent pattern of back-to-back draws and lower required CRS scores that Manitoba is keen on boosting its population through these immigration streams.

As far as future prospects go, the types of jobs in demand and the scoring requirements can change based on the province's evolving needs. But generally speaking, if you have a high CRS score and experience or skills in one of Manitoba's in-demand occupations, your chances of receiving an LAA are significantly higher.
