Manitoba PNP invites 404 IRCC Express Entry candidates in EOI Draw#117

The province of Manitoba in Canada has held another round of invitations under the Provincial Nomination Program [PNP], the provincial route to Canadian permanent residence.

On May 27, 2021, Manitoba PNP – officially the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program [MPNP] – invited a total of 404 candidates in MPNP EOI Draw #117. All of the invitations went out to federal Express Entry candidates. That is, candidates that had declared “a valid Express Entry ID and job seeker validation code”.

A federal Express Entry candidate that is able to secure a PNP nomination – under any of the Express Entry-aligned PNP streams – is allotted 600 ranking points, thereby guaranteeing an invitation to apply by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC].

Invitations to apply issued by the MPNP are also referred to as Letters of Advice to Apply [LAA].

In the latest MPNP draw, invitations were issued only to candidates eligible for the Skilled Worker Overseas pathway that comes under the MPNP’s Skilled Worker Stream.

No invitations were issued to candidates under the MPNP immigration pathway of International Education Stream. Similarly, Skilled Workers in Manitoba were also not included in the draw.
