Manitoba Issues 67 Invitations in Latest MPNP Draw Held on July 10, 2025
On July 10, 2025, Manitoba conducted its latest MPNP draw, issuing a total of 67 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) to qualified candidates. This latest round Expression of Interest (EOI) Draw #249, focused on two major immigration categories: the Skilled Worker Stream and the International Education Stream through the Graduate Internship Pathway. With a minimum required score of 673, this draw offers a real opportunity to those looking to make Manitoba their permanent home through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP).
Here’s why this draw is worth your attention and how it might be your gateway to Canada.
A Closer Look at the Latest MPNP Draw
In this recent MPNP draw, Manitoba aimed to attract applicants with strong educational backgrounds or industry connections in the province. The breakdown of invitations is as follows:

- Total Invitations: 40
- Who’s Eligible: Master’s or PhD graduates from Manitoba who have completed internships through Mitacs Elevate or Accelerate programs

This draw highlights Manitoba’s targeted approach: building a strong local workforce with a mix of fresh graduates and skilled professionals already engaged with Manitoba’s industries and communities.
What Makes This MPNP Draw Stand Out?
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program is known for being flexible and community-oriented. But this MPNP draw goes a step further by:
- Giving priority to international graduates with local experience through research and industry internships.
- Supporting regional development by selecting candidates connected to smaller or underrepresented communities.
- Aligning with Express Entry, which means faster federal processing for selected applicants.
- For applicants, this means that a well-prepared profile, whether through study, work, or direct recruitment, can make all the difference.
Are You Ready to Apply? Here’s What You Need
Before submitting your Expression of Interest (EOI), make sure you meet these key criteria:
