Manitoba PNP – EOI Draw #207 Invites 423 Candidates in 2024

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program held the first Expression of Interest draw for 2024. Manitoba PNP invited 15,805 candidates throughout 30 EOI drawings in 2023. In 2023, Manitoba PNP held 3-4 draws every month. We expect that this current tendency will continue in 2024 as well.

In the most recent draw, the Manitoba PNP sent invitations to 423 candidates. They were in the three MPNP streams. The streams are the Skilled Worker in Manitoba, the International Education Stream, and the Skilled Worker Overseas. This draw took place on January 11, 2024.

In this draw, 73 of the 423 invitations went to applicants. They confirmed that they had a valid job seeker validation code. They also confirmed they had an Express Entry profile number.

Immigrating to Manitoba, Canada in 2024

Manitoba is in the centre of the country. It’s renowned for its varied landscapes, energetic communities, and friendly attitude. The province offers many immigration schemes. It aims to draw in commercial investors, skilled labourers, and relatives. Candidates for the MPNP must prove they can settle in the province. They must show ties to Manitoba, work experience, and strong language skills. The Manitoba PNP points calculator categorizes all these requirements. The program aims to support economic expansion. It also aims to cater to the province’s unique labour market needs.

Important Points

1. They redesigned the Declaration of Interest framework from September 15 to October 6, 2022. No one directed any draws during this period.
2. Many people still have an interest in the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. This is clear because the number of EOI profiles exceeds the program’s capacity. We observed an increase in draw scores after reactivating the EOI system. We compared them to previous drawings. They resumed it on November 17, 2022.
3. The MPNP has only assessed EOI from candidates invited as part of a Strategic Recruitment Initiative. Skilled Workers Overseas. Also, those with a valid Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code.
4. Candidates eligible for the application assessment have an active Express Entry profile. They must have an Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code. Also, someone needs to invite them. You need to receive a nomination.
5. If your score is higher than the lowest-ranked candidate’s but you did not receive a Letter of Advice to Apply. You may not have taken an approved third-party language test. This test proves your English/French language ability. But, you did not provide a valid Test Number in your EOI, or your language test is no longer valid. Or, you indicated that you received an Invitation to Apply to the MPNP under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative. But, you did not provide a valid Invitation Number. Please be aware that there is help text accessible for each question in the EOI. It offers comprehensive guidance on the data you provide.
6. For this draw, the selection committee has chosen candidates who declare that they work in a regulated field. They must also have a valid Manitoba work permit. The MPNP may reject or not accept the candidate’s full application. This can happen if they do not work in a regulated occupation. It can also happen if they do not submit documentation. They must prove that they completed all required licensing stages. You might want to think about refusing your Letter of Advice to Apply if this describes you.
