The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) has conducted its latest Manitoba PNP draw, issuing new invitations to candidates aiming for permanent residency in Canada. As one of the most sought-after immigration pathways, the Manitoba PNP continues to attract skilled workers and international graduates looking to settle in the province.
Manitoba PNP Latest Draw – February 20, 2025
The most recent Manitoba PNP draw took place on February 20, 2025, marking the second invitation round of the month. Candidates who received an invitation must submit their full application within 60 days. Missing this deadline will result in the expiration of the Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA).
Below is a breakdown of the invitations issued under different streams:
International Education Stream
This category targets international graduates who have completed a Master’s degree or higher and have a close relative residing in Manitoba as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
- Total Invitations Issued: 19
Skilled Worker Overseas
This stream invites candidates who were directly selected under a strategic recruitment initiative by the MPNP.
- Total Invitations Issued: 22
- Lowest Ranking Score: 711
Out of the total 41 LAAs issued in this draw, 7 invitations were extended to candidates with a valid Express Entry profile and a job seeker validation code.
Manitoba PNP Expression of Interest (EOI) System
The Manitoba PNP operates on an Expression of Interest (EOI) system to select skilled workers for immigration. Candidates must submit an EOI profile by providing details such as:
- Language Proficiency
- Age
- Work Experience
- Education
- Adaptability
- Risk Assessment
Based on these factors, candidates receive a score. Higher scores increase the chances of receiving an invitation for permanent residency. However, applicants must ensure that all submitted details are accurate, as discrepancies may result in refusal and a two-year reapplication ban.
Manitoba PNP Processing Time & Selection Trends
The Manitoba PNP remains one of the fastest ways to secure Canadian permanent residency, particularly for those with strong provincial ties.
- Processing Time: Approximately 8-10 months for 80% of applications.
- Regular Draws: MPNP draws take place every few weeks, with varying cut-off scores. Lower cut-off scores improve the chances of receiving an invitation.
- Reapplying: If an EOI is not selected within one year, candidates can submit a new profile to stay in the selection pool.
