Draw history

How PNP draws work

1. What the MPNP is

   The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is Manitoba's route to Canadian permanent residence. It runs three main streams — Skilled Worker in Manitoba, Skilled Worker Overseas, and International Education — plus a Business Investor Stream for entrepreneurs.

2. How MPNP invitation rounds work

   MPNP maintains an Expression of Interest (EOI) pool and ranks candidates on a point system covering language, work experience, connection to Manitoba, age, and adaptability. Periodic draws invite candidates at or above a minimum EOI score, which is published with each draw notice.

3. Strategic Recruitment Initiative

   Manitoba sometimes conducts Strategic Recruitment Initiative (SRI) draws targeting specific occupations or employer partners. These draws often carry lower minimum scores than general Skilled Worker Overseas draws and are documented in the same Invitation Rounds notices.

4. After an invitation

   An MPNP Letter of Advice to Apply is not a nomination — it lets you submit a full application for nomination within 60 days. The nomination itself, once issued, is what you attach to your federal permanent-residence application (either through Express Entry for enhanced streams, or directly to IRCC for base streams).

Key facts

• MPNP uses its own EOI points scale — scores typically fall in the hundreds but are not comparable to BC's SIRS (/200), Saskatchewan's SINP (/100), or the federal CRS (/1200).
• A strong Manitoba connection (family, prior work or study in the province, or an invitation from a designated employer) significantly raises an EOI score.
• The Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream prioritizes candidates already living and working in Manitoba on a work permit, often at lower cutoffs than overseas-only candidates.
• The International Education stream offers fast-tracked pathways for recent graduates of designated Manitoba post-secondary institutions.
• Manitoba publishes each draw's stream, score cutoff, and invitation count on its official Invitation Rounds notices page.
