Eligible candidates who meet specific criteria—such as possessing in-demand occupational skills, prior work or education experience in Manitoba, or close connections to the province—were invited to apply for provincial nomination. A provincial nomination significantly boosts an applicant’s chances of securing permanent residency in Canada through the federal Express Entry system.
This initiative is part of Manitoba’s broader strategy to fill gaps in key sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, information technology, and construction. The province continues to prioritize candidates who are well-positioned to integrate into the local economy and who demonstrate a long-term commitment to living and working in Manitoba.
Further details, including the number of invitations issued, minimum required scores, and program streams used (such as Skilled Workers in Manitoba and Skilled Workers Overseas), are typically published in the official draw summary following each round.
The invited candidates, many of whom are already working or have connections to Manitoba, are now eligible to apply for a provincial nomination. If successful, this nomination will significantly boost their chances of obtaining Canadian permanent residency through the federal immigration system.
This draw is part of Manitoba’s broader strategy to retain talent, support regional development, and ensure long-term demographic and economic stability.
