Manitoba Reduces Ranking Score for Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)

The Manitoba province in Canada decreased its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) ranking score.  During the draw that took place on July 6th, Manitoba lowered the Express Entry ranking score to 519, its lowest point. The previous low point was 545 points and therefore the cut-off score dropped by 26 points for the Manitoba Expression of Interest pool.

Need for PNP in Manitoba Province

The province of Manitoba, which is located between Ontario and Saskatchewan, acts as an entryway to western Canada. It needed the PNP to promote itself as a top destination for skilled immigrants and Manitoba's PNP significantly contributed to the overall growth of the province.

A point-based system called the PNP is used to assess and choose skilled people who want to immigrate to Canada. After Express Entry, the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is the most popular route for skilled workers who want to immigrate to this country.

Through one of the three streams offered by the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP), you can immigrate to the province of Manitoba and become a permanent resident of Canada.

Expression of Interest System

Your first step in immigrating to Canada through the Manitoba Provincial  Nominee Program (MPNP) is to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). An EOI is an online profile of yours which is added to a pool of all qualified candidates.  The MPNP then extends invitations to the pool's leading candidates to submit their complete application.

The Expression of Interest system in Manitoba uses a special kind of points system. Candidates are given a score out of 1,000 points under this approach. As a result, this approach has little to no resemblance to the Express Entry’s Comprehensive Ranking System or the CRS. The CRS method assigns each candidate a score out of 1,200 points.

What is the Express Entry System?

The Express Entry system is meant to handle applications for the federal government's 3 immigration categories.

202 Express Entry applicants received Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) for a provincial nomination from Manitoba on July 6. This draw was the sixth since the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program's introduction of the Express Entry-linked Skilled Workers Overseas sub-stream.

The following qualifications are a requirement for these particular candidates:

• Minimum of 6 months' worth of experience in any occupation in Manitoba
• A close relative who has been residing in Manitoba for at least one year;
• Past education or working experience in Manitoba;
• Language proficiency of CLB./NCLC 5.

Also, 32 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) were issued to skilled overseas candidates in Manitoba who scored 639 under MPNP’s Strategic Recruitment program.

This decision was made to favour quality over quantity and efficiently manage the number of applications. Though this decision may be of advantage, some predict that as a result, fewer people will apply to the program, and those who do apply will find it more difficult.
