Canada continues to welcome skilled immigrants, and the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) remains one of the most promising pathways. On May 15, 2025, Manitoba held its latest draw and issued 62 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream. The lowest-ranked candidate had a score of 626. These draws are a crucial opportunity for candidates aiming to secure permanent residency in Canada through provincial nomination.
What is the Manitoba PNP?
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program, launched in 1998, was Canada’s first-ever PNP. It was created to attract skilled talent aligned with Manitoba’s labor market and economic needs. What started with a few hundred nominations now supports over 10,000 immigrants annually.
Manitoba offers multiple streams under the MPNP:
Skilled Worker Stream
- Skilled Worker in Manitoba
- Skilled Worker Overseas
International Education Stream
- Career Employment Pathway
- Graduate Internship Pathway
- International Student Entrepreneur Pilot
Business Investor Stream
- Entrepreneur Pathway
- Farm Investor Pathway
Some of these are enhanced streams, linked with the Express Entry system, while others are base streams, requiring direct application to IRCC.
Calculate Your Manitoba PNP Score
Before applying, use the Manitoba Points Calculator to estimate your score. This system assesses factors such as:
- Age
- Education
- Work experience
- Language proficiency
- Connection to Manitoba
A strong score improves your chances of receiving an invitation in future draws. If you’re unsure where you stand, don’t guess; book a consultation with RCIC professionals for a precise evaluation.
How Enhanced and Base Streams Work
Enhanced streams are tied to Canada’s Express Entry system. If you receive a provincial nomination from an enhanced stream, you gain an extra 600 CRS points, practically guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the federal draw.
Base streams are independent of Express Entry. Candidates nominated under base streams must apply to IRCC separately for permanent residency.
Why Apply Through Manitoba PNP?
Here’s what makes MPNP appealing in 2025:
- Regular draw schedule (usually twice a month)
- Transparent scoring and selection process
- Lower CRS cut-offs compared to federal draws
- Tailored pathways for students, skilled workers, and entrepreneurs
If you’ve studied, worked, or have family in Manitoba or can demonstrate skills in demand, this program could be your fastest path to Canadian PR.
