Manitoba Draw Invites 19 Skilled Workers for Canada PR
Manitoba recently held a draw under its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), inviting 19 skilled workers to apply for permanent residency in Canada. This initiative highlights Manitoba’s ongoing commitment to attracting talent that meets regional needs.
What to Know About the Latest Manitoba PNP Draw
The draw took place on July 24, 2025, and was specifically directed at candidates within the Skilled Worker Stream. Out of the 19 invitations issued, the cutoff Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score was 611. In simpler terms, candidates are scored based on factors like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency, with a higher score increasing chances for selection.
- Invitations Issued: 19
- Lowest Ranking Score: 611
- Draw Type: Strategic Recruitment Initiatives (Skilled Worker Stream)
This draw was particularly selective, emphasizing Manitoba’s focus on meeting specific labour needs through targeted recruitment.
Breakdown of Invitations
The 19 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) were distributed across various pathways:
- Employer Services: 2 invitations
- Francophone Forum: 11 invitations
- Regional Communities: 3 invitations
- Ethnocultural Communities: 3 invitations
This distribution aims to foster diversity and support the representation of francophone and ethnocultural groups in the Manitoba workforce.
Express Entry Correlated Invitations
Among the invited candidates, three individuals had valid job seeker validation codes and Express Entry profile numbers. This means they could earn additional CRS points, positioning themselves for further opportunities within the federal Express Entry system.
Key Insights for EOI Candidates
If your score exceeded the lowest-ranked candidate’s score and you didn’t receive an invitation, there may be issues with your Expression of Interest (EOI) profile. Here are two common problems:
- Language Test Issues: Ensure your English or French test information is entered correctly and that your results are still valid.
- Missing Invitation Details: If you say you received an invitation through a recruitment program, it’s essential to include the appropriate invitation number.
If you find any inaccuracies, don’t worry! You can update your EOI profile to improve your chances in the next Manitoba PNP draw.
Why This Draw Matters
This latest draw underscores several important priorities for Manitoba:
- Promoting francophone immigration at both federal and provincial levels.
- Boosting rural economies through targeted community recruitment.
- Maintaining a high-quality selection process with a relatively high score requirement of 611.
Manitoba is focused on quality over quantity, seeking candidates who are genuinely committed to making Manitoba their long-term home.
