Skilled Workers Overseas candidates, at the same time, received 13 invitations and the minimum Expression of Interest (EOI) score required for them was 712. International Education Stream candidates received 40 invitations. The total number of Express Entry candidates who received invitations in the draw is 64.
Manitoba PNP immigration streams
In order to receive an invitation through either the Skilled Workers in Manitoba stream or the Skilled Workers Overseas stream, a candidate must first submit an Expression of Interest profile. The candidates are then assessed on the basis of various human capital factors as well as previous connections to the province and an Expression of Interest score is awarded to them out of 1000. Those with the highest scores receive invitations in the Manitoba PNP draws that are conducted regularly.
The Skilled Workers Overseas category candidates need to demonstrate previous connections to Manitoba through close family ties, previous experience in the province or an invitation issued through one of the Strategic Recruitment Initiatives of Manitoba. You need not be living in Manitoba at the time of submitting the application.
At the same time, Skilled Workers in Manitoba category candidates need to have a full-time permanent job offer from a provincial employer.
The international students who have completed their education in Manitoba can receive an invitation under the International Education Stream.
Manitoba PNP Express Entry
The Express Entry candidates who receive a nomination from Manitoba will have 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score points added to their total score. This would guarantee them an invitation to apply for permanent residence in a subsequent federal Express Entry draw.
