The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) just released results for its newest Skilled Worker Stream draw, bringing new options for international professionals and community-focused candidates. Let’s see what’s new, who was selected, and how you can prepare for the next Skilled Worker Stream draw.
Latest Manitoba PNP Draw Highlights
On August 2025, Manitoba invited 37 candidates through its Skilled Worker in Manitoba and Skilled Worker Overseas pathways. This draw focused only on applicants directly invited by MPNP under a strategic recruitment initiative—a clear sign that Manitoba is targeting talent to meet real needs.
Here’s a quick overview:
| Category | Number of LAAs | Lowest Score |
| Total Invitations | 37 | 724 |
Who Got Invited? Strategic Recruitment Initiatives Explained
Instead of casting a wide net, this draw zoomed in on key areas:
- Employer Services: 15 candidates
- Francophone Community: 19 candidates
- Regional Communities: 1 candidate
- Ethnocultural Communities: 2 candidates
It’s also worth noting: 7 of the 37 successful candidates declared a valid Express Entry profile and job seeker validation code.
Example: Maria, a French-speaking engineer connected to a Manitoba employer, was invited through the Francophone Community stream, demonstrating how language and local ties can fast-track your success.
Why Wasn’t Everyone Invited? Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Some candidates with high scores still missed out. Here’s why:
- Missing or outdated language test information in their EOI
- Failing to include a valid invitation number under strategic recruitment
- Declaring work in a regulated occupation but not showing full licensing
Before the next draw, check your EOI carefully. The MPNP help text can walk you through each step, ensuring your application stands out for the right reasons.
The Licensing Rule: Regulated Occupations Require Proof
If you say you work in a regulated job—such as nursing or engineering—Manitoba wants proof. The MPNP expects you to have all required provincial licenses in place before applying. Applications lacking this documentation may be refused.
If you’re not fully licensed or not actually working in the stated field, consider declining your Letter of Advice to Apply. Honesty is the best path forward.
