November 5, 2026Manitoba · MPNP draw

Two selections produced 526 Letters of Advice to Apply

  • Occupation-specific selection (Skilled Worker in Manitoba): 448 invitations. Profiles declaring current employment in Manitoba in two broad occupational categories were considered: 8 (natural resources, agriculture and related production occupations) and 9 (occupations in manufacturing and utilities).
  • Strategic recruitment initiatives (Skilled Worker Stream): 78 invitations to Skilled Worker in Manitoba or Skilled Worker Overseas profiles directly invited by the MPNP: Employer Services 20, Ethnocultural Communities 11, Francophone Community 12, Regional Communities 30 and the temporary public policy for prospective PNP candidates 5.

No minimum score published

Manitoba did not publish a minimum ranking score for either selection in this draw.

Of the 526 invitations, 49 went to candidates who declared a valid Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code. That does not mean those invitations were issued through Express Entry alone.

An invitation is not yet a provincial nomination

A Letter of Advice to Apply lets the selected candidate submit a complete MPNP application. The candidate must still meet the requirements of the pathway, document the information in the expression of interest (EOI) and follow the deadline and instructions in their account.

A provincial nomination and federal permanent residence are separate decisions. Applicants linked to Express Entry must also keep their federal profile accurate and eligible.
