Candidates selected in the November 18 MPNP draw are those who had indicated that –

• they were working in a regulated occupation, and
• were fully licensed to work in Manitoba.

An invited candidate not actually working in a regulated occupation will have their application either rejected or returned. Those failing to provide valid proof of having gone through all the necessary licensing steps for being employed in Manitoba will also be considered similarly.

How does a PNP nomination help an IRCC Express Entry candidate?

A PNP nomination facilitates the permanent residence application process for an IRCC Express Entry candidate. A PNP nomination is worth 600 CRS points in itself. CRS stands for the 1,200-point Comprehensive Ranking System matrix. The higher the CRS score that you have, the higher the chances of your being invited by IRCC to apply for Canada PR through the Express Entry system.

There is no limit on the total number of EOIs that might be submitted to the MPNP. However, LAAs sent out by Manitoba PNP will be as per the annual allocation of nomination spaces. IRCC has allotted 5,400 base nomination spaces and 875 Express Entry spaces to Manitoba for 2021. Altogether 9,775 LAAs have been issued by Manitoba in the 25 MPNP draws held so far in 2021.
