The province of Manitoba has invited 349 skilled workers to settle in the province as permanent residents in a draw that took place on September 26. These candidates, plus their family members, are now in a position to apply for a provincial nomination through the Manitoba nominee programs . With a nomination, invited persons may then apply to the federal government for permanent resident status.
The latest draw brings to total number of Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) in 2017 to 2,942. A LAA acts in the same way as an invitation to apply to the program.
In the September 26 draw, 300 candidates were issued a LAA under the criteria for the Skilled worker category.
Recruitment missions: These overseas employment/immigration fairs involve MPNP representatives interviewing foreign skilled workers and subsequently inviting them to apply after they have made a formal Expression of Interest (EOI) to the MPNP.
Exploratory visits: The MPNP may invite people who have undertaken a pre-approved Exploratory Visit and passed an interview with a program official.
Candidates eligible for one of the MPNP for Skilled Workers sub-categories are ranked according to a unique points system that awards up to 1,000 points to each candidate.
