Based on various factors such as education, work experience, previous connections to Manitoba and language proficiency, each of the EoI profiles is assessed and awarded a score out of 1000. The highest-scoring candidates receive invitations to apply for provincial nomination in the Manitoba EoI draws. The minimum score of Skilled Workers in Manitoba Stream candidates invited in the latest draw was 499 and that of Skilled Workers Overseas stream candidates was 707.
Manitoba Expression of Interest Express Entry
To be considered for provincial nomination from Manitoba, the federal Express Entry candidates need to submit a separate Expression of Interest to the MPNP. The candidates who are nominated by Manitoba will have 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System score points added to their total CRS score, which guarantee them an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence in Canada from the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada(IRCC). To be eligible to apply for provincial nomination from Manitoba, the Express Entry candidates must demonstrate eligible work experience in an in-demand occupation of Manitoba and meet other requirements.
