Manitoba & PEI Issue New Invitations for Provincial Immigration
Canada continues to welcome skilled workers, international graduates, and professionals through its Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). Recently, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island (PEI) issued Invitations to Apply (ITAs) under their PNP streams, offering potential pathways to permanent residency in Canada. These draws highlight the provinces’ ongoing efforts to attract skilled individuals who can contribute to their economies and communities.
Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) Draw
Manitoba has been actively inviting candidates through its PNP streams, ensuring a steady influx of talent to meet labor market demands. In the latest draw, the province issued invitations under the following streams:
Skilled Workers in Manitoba
This category is designed for individuals currently working in Manitoba with an ongoing employment offer. It prioritizes candidates who have established connections in the province and are contributing to its economy. Factors such as work experience, education, and language proficiency play a crucial role in selection.
International Education Stream
Graduates from Manitoba institutions who have acquired in-demand skills and work experience can apply under this stream. The latest draw issued invitations to individuals holding master’s degrees or higher, with a Manitoba supporter who is a close relative residing in the province for at least one year.
Skilled Workers Overseas
Manitoba also welcomes skilled workers from outside Canada through the Skilled Workers Overseas stream. Candidates are typically invited through strategic recruitment initiatives. In this draw, invitations were extended to individuals with strong ties to Manitoba, including family connections or previous work/study experience. The lowest-ranked candidate invited had a score of 711.
Moreover, some invitations were issued to candidates with valid Express Entry profiles, allowing them to benefit from expedited processing if nominated.
Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) Draw
PEI is another province that regularly invites skilled workers and business entrepreneurs to strengthen its labor market. In its most recent draw, PEI issued 87 invitations under the following categories:
Labour Impact & Express Entry
This stream targets individuals with skills in demand in PEI. The province prioritizes applicants already living and working in PEI, as well as international graduates from local institutions such as the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Holland College, and Collège de l’Île.
The Labour Impact stream is crucial for PEI’s economy, ensuring businesses have access to qualified professionals in industries like healthcare, hospitality, and IT. Candidates who receive a nomination through PEI PNP benefit from additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points in Express Entry, increasing their chances of receiving an invitation for permanent residency.
