Manitoba PNP issues 196 LAAs, 40 for Express Entry

In the latest round of invitations held on November 19, 2020, Manitoba has issued 196 invitations to immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residence in Canada.

This was Expression of Interest Draw #103 by the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program [MPNP].

The previous MPNP draw was held on November 5, 2020.

With the latest MPNP draw, Manitoba has issued 4,469 invitations in 2020 so far.

Of the 196 Letters of Advice to Apply [LAAs] issued, 40 went to Express Entry candidates.

An Express Entry candidate that is successful in securing a nomination though any of the Express Entry linked streams of the Provincial Nominee Program [PNP] of Canada is allotted an additional 600 points towards their CRS score.

By CRS is implied the ranking score – the Comprehensive Ranking System [CRS] score – that determines which Express Entry candidates are invited by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC] to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

Not all Express Entry candidates receive invitations to apply for Canada PR. A PNP nomination, therefore, is a way of guaranteeing that the candidate is issued an ITA by IRCC in the subsequent federal Express Entry draw that is held.

EOI Draw #103 - Date of Draw – November 19, 2020 - Total LAAs issued: 196 - Express Entry candidates invited: 40
Category	Letters of Advice to Apply [LAAs] sent	Minimum EOI score required
Skilled Workers Overseas	22 Directly invited under Strategic Recruitment Initiative.	769
Skilled Workers in Manitoba	144	526
International Education Stream	30	No EOI score required.

Those intending taking Manitoba’s PNP route to Canadian permanent residence – through either the Skilled Workers in Manitoba or Skilled Workers Overseas stream – will be required to begin the processing by registering an Expression of Interest with the MPNP.

Do keep in mind that an EOI is not a visa application as such. It is only a way of informing the province or territory concerned that the individual would be interested in a PNP nomination through them.

Upon successful registration with the MPNP, a score – referred to as the EOI score – will be allotted out of a total of 1,000 points. The EOI score of a candidate is based on human capital factors, which include their education, work experience, language ability, and connection to Manitoba.

With the latest draw, a total of 4,469 invitations have been issued by the MPNP in 2020 so far.

For 2020, the MPNP has an allotment of 5,000 base nominations, along with 875 Express Entry spaces.
