Manitoba invites skilled foreign workers in PNP draw

On June 12, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) issued 36 candidates Letters of Advice to Apply for provincial immigration through the Skilled Worker Overseas stream.
Assess your eligibility for enhanced PNP streams
Of these 36 candidates, five letters were issued to candidates who declared a valid Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code.
The score of the lowest-ranked candidate in this draw was 613.
Candidates who submitted an Expression of Interest (EOI) for this stream were only considered if they were invited directly by the MPNP under a strategic recruitment initiative.
About the strategic recruitment initiative
Manitoba employers who need skilled workers can recruit foreign talent through strategic recruitment initiatives.
To take part, employers must meet specific eligibility criteria for the roles they’re hiring and complete the province’s ABC Recruitment Process.
After receiving approval, they can submit details of international candidates to Manitoba's Employer Services.
Candidates need to meet certain eligibility criteria regarding age, education, work experience and language proficiency, in addition to the criteria of the stream they are invited under.
Like most PNPs, Manitoba has seen its provincial nomination allocation halved in 2025. This year, the MPNP’s allocation for the year is 4,750 nomination slots.
In February, Newfoundland and Labrador succeeded in increasing its provincial allocation for the year through negotiations with the federal government.
