 Manitoba PNP Draw – November 1, 2021

Manitoba invited 421 immigration candidates to apply for provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residency

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) released details of its new immigration draw held on November 1, 2021.

A total of 421 immigration candidates across three streams of MPNP – Skilled Workers in Manitoba, Skilled Workers Overseas, and International Education Stream received invitations, also known as Letters of advice to apply (LAAs) for provincial nomination for Canada Permanent residency Visa in this draw.

Out of total invites issued, 75 went to Express Entry Candidates.

The MPNP allows the province to nominate foreign workers and international graduates of its post-secondary institutions for Canadian permanent residence through its three popular immigration pathways – Skilled Worker in Manitoba, Skilled Worker Overseas and International Education Stream.

In order to qualify under the Skilled Workers Overseas Category, candidates need to demonstrate:

• connections to Manitoba through the likes of close family ties,
• previous experience in the province, or
• an invitation through one of Manitoba’s Strategic Recruitment Initiatives

Express Entry Candidates, who successfully receive a provincial nomination from MPNP, are awarded an additional 600 CRS points. This effectively guarantee them an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from IRCC in subsequent PNP-specific Express Entry Draws.

Manitoba has now invited total 9,571 PNP candidates to apply for provincial nomination for Canada PR so far in 2021.

First Express Entry Draw of 2021 invited 250 PNP Candidates to apply for Canadian Permanent Residency

Canada invited total 250 Express Entry candidates who have provincial nominations to apply for permanent residency in its first immigration draw of 2021 on January 6.

The invitations to apply (ITAs) have been issued to candidates who had a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 813.

Immigration candidates, who obtain nominations from an Express Entry-aligned Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), automatically receive 600 points toward their overall CRS score.  This is the reason that CRS cut-off score for this invitation round was quite high as compared to previous draws.

The Express Entry system is Canada’s primary source of skilled foreign workers. It manages the profiles of candidates under three Federal High Skilled economic class immigration programs: Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and Canadian Experience Class.

Eligible candidates enter the Express Entry pool, where they are issued a CRS score based on their age, education, skilled work experience and proficiency in English or French, among other factors.

A set number of highest-ranked candidates are then invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence through regular draws from the pool.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) applied the tie-breaking rule and the time-stamp used was November 2, 2020 at 11:11:52 UTC. This means the PNP candidates who had a CRS score of 813 or more, who had submitted their Express Entry profile before this time and date, received an invitation in this draw.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 remained a record-breaking year for Canada’s Express Entry system! The country issued highest-ever 107,350 invitations for permanent residence to immigration candidates. However, this number is going to be bigger since the country is all set to welcome over 1.2 million new immigrants in next three years as per its 2021-2023 Multiyear Immigration Plan.

Canada aims to welcome 401,000 new immigrants in 2021. Total 108,500 of these immigrants will come through an Express Entry-managed program.

Candidates in this category may fall under three possible streams: Skilled Worker (in PEI and outside Canada), Critical Worker and International Graduate.
