MPNP: 212 candidates advised to apply for a provincial nomination

In the latest Expression of Interest Draw #98 on September 10, 2020, the province of Manitoba has invited 212 immigration candidates to apply for a provincial nomination through the MPNP. Those successful in securing a provincial nomination get a step closer to applying to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC] for Canadian permanent residence.

The previous MPNP draw was held on August 27, 2020.

As an applicant cannot apply for Canada PR directly unless invited by the federal government of Canada, a provincial nomination – fetching an additional 600 ranking points for an Express Entry profile – continues to be the route for Canada PR in 2020.

With a profile boosted towards the top of the Express Entry pool with the additional 600 CRS [Comprehensive Ranking System] points, a PNP nomination is a guarantee of receiving an invitation to apply in the subsequent draws. Highest-ranked profiles are issued invitations in the federal Express Entry draws that are held at regular intervals.

By the MPNP is implied the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. Manitoba is 1 of the 9 provinces and 2 territories that are a part of Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program [PNP].

In the latest MPNP invitation round, of the 212 Letters of Advice [LAAs] issued, 22 went to Express Entry candidates.
