Manitoba PNP Extends 1,072 Invitations in Draw #195 On September 28, 2023, something important happened in the world of immigration. The Manitoba Immigration Pathways made its 195th Expression of Interest Draw. This draw, part of the Skilled Worker Overseas category, handed out a whopping 1,072 invitations for people to apply to move to Manitoba. What’s really impressive is that even the person with the lowest score in this draw had a score of 605. Out of those 1,072 invitations, 504 were given to folks who had already said they wanted to move to Manitoba through the Express Entry system. This shows that Manitoba really wants to bring in highly skilled people as part of its Strategic Recruitment Initiative.
Now, if you’re thinking about applying for the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), which lets Manitoba choose people who want to live and work there, here’s a simple guide to help you through the process:
Step 1: Check If You’re Eligible
First things first, make sure you meet all the requirements for the Manitoba PNP. This includes having the right education, work experience, language skills, and other stuff they might ask for.
Step 2: Express Your Interest
If you qualify, show your interest in the program. Manitoba uses something called an Expression of Interest (EOI) system. You’ll need to create an online profile to say you want to move to Manitoba.
Step 3: Create Your Profile
Sign up and fill out all the forms to make your EOI profile. Be sure to give accurate info about your education, work history, language skills, and anything else they want to know.
Step 4: Get in the EOI Pool
Once your profile is ready, you’ll be in the EOI pool. They’ll give your profile a score based on things like your education, work experience, language skills, how adaptable you are, and any connections you have to Manitoba.
Step 5: Wait for an Invitation
Manitoba sends out invites to people in the EOI pool every so often. If you get an invite, they’ll give you a specific time frame to send in your application.
Step 6: Complete Your Application
Gather up all the documents you need for your application. This could include school records, language test results, letters from your old jobs, proof that you have enough money to live in Manitoba, and other important papers.
Step 7: Pay the Application Fee
You’ll have to pay a fee to process your application. The amount can change depending on how you’re applying and what category you fall under.
Step 8: Application Review
The folks in Manitoba will carefully look at your application and make sure it meets all the program’s rules. They might ask for more documents or even interview you if they need more info.
Step 9: Get Nominated
If everything checks out, you’ll get a nomination from the Manitoba PNP. This is a big deal because it’s a major step toward becoming a permanent resident of Canada.
Step 10: Apply for Permanent Residency
With your Manitoba PNP nomination, you can now apply to the Canadian government for permanent residency through Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Be sure to send in your application and all the papers they ask for.
Step 11: Finish the Process
Follow the IRCC’s instructions for things like medical exams, police background checks, and any other stuff they need to finalize your permanent residency application.
That’s the whole process in a nutshell. Good luck if you decide to make Manitoba your new home!
