Manitoba PNP Draw Issues 142 Invitations to Skilled Candidates

Canadian provinces are aiming to invite more skilled candidates in 2021 so as to fill the labor deficiencies in the market.

Manitoba is one of the most popular provinces among immigrants. Candidates have been invited to the province through regular draws since the beginning of the year.

Inclusive of the draw, Manitoba has invited a total of 3,564 immigration candidates in 2021, and they can submit their applications for a provincial nomination.
