The latest Expression of Interest draw on January 2 invited International student graduates and skilled workers in Manitoba and abroad
Details of the draw were issued yesterday by Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) A total of 186 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) to candidates in the following three streams:
- Skilled Workers in Manitoba;
- Skilled Workers Overseas; and
- The International Education Stream.
Invitations were distributed as follows:
- Skilled workers in Manitoba: 122
- Skilled Workers Overseas: 42
- International Education: 22
This is Manitoba’s 80th EOI draw since the program began in April 2014
Express entry candidates invited
Of the 186 candidates invited to the December 6 draw, 24 were profiled in the express entry pool.
The Express Entry System manages Canada\’s pool of candidates from three main economic-class immigration categories:
- The Federal Skilled Worker Program,
- The Federal Skilled Trades Program, and
- The Canadian Experience Class.
Express entry candidates are awarded a score based on a comprehensive ranking system (CRS) that measures human capital factors such as age, work experience, education, and language ability. Candidates with the highest scoring are invited to apply for permanent residency in Canada through regular draws from the express entry pool.
Express Provincial candidates who receive a Provincial nomination are awarded an additional 600 CRS points, which guarantees an invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residency in subsequent Federal Express entry draws.
To be considered for a provincial nomination from Manitoba, Express Entry candidates must have eligible work experience in a demanding occupation of Manitoba, among other requirements. They will also have to present a separate expression of interest for the MPNP.
Expression of interest
To be invited for a provincial nomination from Manitoba through both skilled workers in Manitoba and skilled labor migrant categories, candidates are required to file an Expression of Interest (EOI) with the MPNP. An EOI is an online profile excluded from a score of 1,000. Points are awarded for a candidate\’s education, work experience, connections to Manitoba and language proficiency in English or French, among other factors.
A specified number of candidates who score the highest receive an LAA, allowing them to apply for provincial nomination for permanent residency in Canada. In the latest draw, the lowest ranked candidate invited under a skilled worker in the Manitoba Stream had a score of 534.
The lowest ranked candidate invited Stream had a score of 708.
Skilled Workers Overseas and Skilled Workers in Manitoba
The skilled labor migrant of the MPNP allows the MPNP to select and enroll skilled foreign workers who can help support Manitoba\’s labor market. Candidates must have an established relationship with Manitoba such as close family or friends,or an invitation through MPNP’s strategic recruitment
They do not need to be in Manitoba at the time of application to qualify. The 42 candidates invited through the Skilled Worker Overseas Stream were directly invited by the MPNP as part of a strategic recruitment initiative.
Candidates invited through a skilled worker in the Manitoba category must work in Manitoba and be offered a full-time, permanent job from their employer.
International education stream
Manitoba graduates with some demand skills may be invited under the International Education Stream.
This stream consists of three sub-categories:
- Career Employment Pathway,
- Graduate Internship Pathway and
- Student Entrepreneur Pathway.
