2019.11.07. Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program issued 180 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAA) to graduate international Students, skilled workers and Express Entry candidates in a recent draw.

The Letters of Advice to Apply were issued as follows:

• International Education Stream – 23

• Skilled Workers out of Canada – 24

• Skilled Workers in Manitoba – 133

The candidate profiles are graded based on a score of 1,000 that considers education, work experience, proficiency in English/French as some criteria.

The candidates invited in Skilled Workers in Manitoba had a score of 560 and higher, and had a full-time permanent job in the province. Whereas the Skilled Workers invited outside Canada had a score of 719 and higher, and had either close family or friends, or previous education or work experience in the province.

Among all the provinces, the application processing time in Manitoba is approximately 4 months. Nonetheless, the application needs to be validated by the province and government of Canada, hence the average processing time varies between 12 to 15 months.

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) is accepting requests from bilingual francophone candidates for exploratory visits to the province, which will be supported by CDEM to help prospective immigrants establish stronger ties to francophone communities and local economic opportunities. These pre-arranged visits allow potential skilled worker applicants to research employment opportunities and communities to help them make an informed decision whether to relocate to Manitoba.

Do you have at least six months work experience in an occupation on the Manitoba In-Demand Occupations List and a relative who has resided in Manitoba as a Permanent Resident or Canadian citizen for at least one year?
