Manitoba PNP draw sends out invites to 99 candidates

Immigration Canada had another Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw held by Manitoba on May 21, 2020.

Invitations to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residence were sent to 99 immigration candidates.

The invitations got issued by the Manitoba PNP (Provincial Nominee Program) to candidates in the streams of:

• Skilled Workers in Manitoba - 72 invites
• Skilled Workers Overseas - 15 invites
• International Education – 12 invites

So far this year, Manitoba has issued 2,030 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAA), which is simply called ‘invitations’.

The draw on May 21 was Manitoba’s 90th PNP draw counting from the time the program started in April 2014.

9 LAAs were sent to candidates with a valid profile in the federal Express Entry system.

These candidates from the Express Entry are assigned a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. It’s calculated considering factors like work experience, education, age, and language skills.

Candidates who are top scorers will get invited to apply for Permanent Residence in Canada. They can apply through draws that are regularly conducted from the Express Entry pool.

Candidates who get provincial nomination are given an additional 600 points upon their CRS scores. With that the candidates will be effectively guaranteed to get Invitations to Apply (ITA) issued by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
