Expression of Interest system notices

Posted on by
  1. All persons who are interested in applying to the Skilled Worker Stream must create an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile.
  2. The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) receives an allocation of nominations each year from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The MPNP invites a corresponding number of applications to be submitted to utilize the entire nomination allocation through the EOI draws. The MPNP can only approve as many applications as the nomination allocation in a given year.
  3. For 2022, the MPNP can approve 6,367 applications.
  4. The nomination allocation for 2023 has not yet been announced.
  5. The MPNP issues Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) based on priority by stream and the highest ranking points at the time of a given EOI draw.
  6. The number of profiles in Manitoba's EOI pool exceeds the annual nomination allocation. As a result, not everyone who creates an EOI profile will be selected to receive a LAA to the MPNP.
  7. Individuals can improve their score by completing or updating their language test results, completing additional work experience, or through completion of additional education.
  8. Individuals interested in immigrating to Manitoba may also be eligible to apply through a federal immigration program. More information on federal immigration programs can be found on the IRCC website.
