Manitoba PNP issues 150 LAAs in the first MPNP draw of May

The Canadian province of Manitoba has held its latest round of invitations under Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program [PNP].

On May 6, 2021, Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program [MPNP] held the first draw of the month under the Expression of Interest System.

In MPNP’s EOI Draw #115, a total of 150 Canada immigration candidates received invitations to apply for a provincial nomination, through Manitoba PNP, for their Canadian permanent residence.

Of the 150 invitations issued, 14 went out to candidates that had declared “a valid Express Entry ID and job seeker validation code”.

An Express Entry candidate nominated under any of the PNP streams is assured of an invitation by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC].   Not all IRCC Express Entry candidates receive invitations to apply for Canada PR.

The invitations issued by the MPNP are also referred to as Letters of Advice to Apply or LAAs.

There are 3 separate categories that come under Manitoba PNP. These are –

• The Skilled Worker Stream: Skilled Workers in Manitoba, Skilled Workers Overseas
• The International Education Stream: Career Employment Pathway, Graduate Internship Pathway, International Student Entrepreneur Pilot
• The Business Investor Stream: Entrepreneur Pathway, Farm Investor Pathway

In the latest Manitoba PNP draw, invitations issued went out to candidates under the Manitoba immigration pathways of Skilled Workers in Manitoba, Skilled Workers Overseas, and International Education Stream.
