Skilled Workers in Manitoba – 160 LAAs with a minimum EOI score of at least 464;
Skilled Workers Migrant – 4 LAAs with a minimum EOI score of at least 847;
International Education – 25 LAA with no minimum marks required.

Express entry
Among the LAAs released today, 18 went to candidates with valid profiles in the Federal Express entry system.
Candidates who qualify for the express entry pool are ranked based on a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score that considers 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.
Those who receive a provincial nomination are awarded 600 additional CRS points and are guaranteed an invitation to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship from Canada Applicable (ITA).
In this draw, express entry candidates receiving provincial nominations from Manitoba declared a valid Express Entry ID and provided a job seeker verification code.
Manitoba’s EOI System
Those who wish to immigrate through Manitoba’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) are required to file an expression of interest with the MPNP to obtain LAA through streams of skilled workers and skilled workers in Manitoba.
Under the Manitoba system, such candidates are ranked beyond the 1,000 marks for human capital characteristics such as their English or French language skills, education, work experience, Manitoba connection, and other factors.
About Manitoba immigration streams
The skilled labor migrant category and skilled labor in the Manitoba streams allow the province to designate skilled workers who can support the needs of Manitoba’s labor market.
Those applying from overseas need to form an established relationship with Manitoba. This can be demonstrated through close family ties or friends in the province, previous experience in Manitoba, or an invitation under one of the MPNP’s strategic recruitment initiatives.
Candidates do not have to be physically present in Manitoba to be eligible.
Successful candidates in skilled workers in the Manitoba category must meet certain criteria, such as a full-time permanent job offer from an employer in Manitoba.
International students graduating from an educational institution in Manitoba may receive an LAA under the International Education Stream if they have in-demand skills.
