Manitoba PNP Express Entry
The December 6 draw has invited 18 Express Entry candidates to apply for provincial nomination. To be eligible for a provincial nomination from Manitoba, the Express Entry candidates must have work experience in one of the in-demand occupations of Manitoba. They must also have submitted a separate Expression of Interest to the MPNP. The candidates who receive an LAA and successfully apply for a provincial nomination to Manitoba PNP will have 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS) score points added to their total CRS score. It would ensure them an invitation to apply for permanent residence in Canada in the subsequent Express Entry draw.
Expression of Interest
The first step for a candidate to be invited through either the Skilled Worker in Manitoba category or Skilled Worker Overseas category is to register an Expression of Interest(EoI) with the Manitoba PNP. Each EoI is awarded a score out of 1000 based on various factors such as education, work experience, previous connections to Manitoba, language proficiency etc.
The highest-scoring candidates are issued LAAs with which they may apply for a provincial nomination. The lowest score of candidates invited through the Skilled Worker in Manitoba category in the latest draw was 522. At the same time, the minimum score of candidates invited through the Skilled Worker Overseas category was 718.
