The central Canadian province has invited a total of 1,292 candidates so far in 2021.

Manitoba invited another 355 Canadian immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination on March 25.

If these invited candidates receive the provincial nomination through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) they will be one step closer to permanent residency status.

Manitoba regularly invites hopeful immigrants to apply through one of the following three Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams: Skilled Workers in Manitoba, International Education Stream, and Skilled Workers Overseas. The Skilled Worker streams require that candidates have previously submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile,

Here are the results from the latest draw:

• Skilled Workers in Manitoba— 285 invitations with a minimum EOI score of 423;
• Skilled Workers Overseas— 9 invitations with a minimum EOI score of 711; and
• International Education Stream— 41 invitations with no EOI score requirement.

A total of 49 invitations, also known as Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs), went to Express Entry candidates.
