News on the Manitoba PNP program
The province of Manitoba has issued 592 invitations in the latest Expression of Interest (EOI) draw on June 21. This includes 114 candidates from the Express Entry pool.
This program was started in January 2018 and is linked to the Express Entry pool. If you are eligible under this program (criteria below), and if you are in the Express Entry pool, you will be granted a Provincial Nomination. This gives you 600 points on your Express Entry CRS score, effectively guaranteeing you an ITA (Invitation to Apply) in the next draw of EE.
This is a great program for those looking to immigrate to Canada. So, if you have a connection to Manitoba (friend/relative or recent education or work), this is THE program for you.
Here are the minimum criteria to qualify for this program:
- Have a close family/friend in Manitoba, who has lived there for at least 1 year and is a Permanent Resident or a Citizen of Canada.
- Minimum 6 month recent overseas work experience in an in-demand profession in Manitoba.
- Minimum 6 bands in IELTS.
