Manitoba held its 237th Expression of Interest (EOI) draw on January 23, 2025, as part of its Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP). In this draw, 128 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAA) were sent to qualified applicants in the Skilled Worker Overseas category. This draw targeted candidates who had been directly invited by MPNP as part of a strategic recruitment initiative.
Here's an overview of the criteria and highlights of the draw, along with useful tips for candidates interested in immigrating to this dynamic and prosperous province.
Key results for draw #237
The #237 draw enabled 128 candidates to receive a Letter of Advice to Apply. The selected candidates had profiles meeting the following criteria:
- Minimum score for the lowest-ranked candidate: 609 points in the ranking system.
- Of these 128 applicants, 22 were also registered in the federal Express Entry system, with a valid profile number and job seeker validation code.
Important note: Skilled Worker Overseas candidates were only considered if they had been directly invited by MPNP as part of a strategic recruitment initiative.
Specific conditions and details of the print run
The MPNP imposes certain essential conditions that applicants must meet to qualify. Here are the most important points:
- Language tests: Applicants must provide a valid number for an approved language test (English or French). An expired test or error in submitting information may prevent receipt of an invitation.
- Valid invitation : Candidates who declare that they have received a strategic invitation must ensure that they provide a valid invitation number in their EOI profile.
- Regulated occupations : Applicants claiming to work in a regulated occupation in Manitoba must demonstrate that they hold the necessary licenses to legally practice their trade in the province. Applications may be refused if this proof is not provided.
If these points apply to you, we recommend that you update your EOI profile to ensure your eligibility for future draws.
