On July 5, 2025, Manitoba issued 67 new Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) through its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), continuing its targeted approach to attracting international graduates and skilled workers who can support the province’s labour market needs.
At Jain Immigration Law, we closely monitor these PNP draws to help clients seize opportunities in real time. This latest draw focused on the following streams:
1. International Education Stream
Manitoba invited 41 candidates who graduated from designated Manitoba institutions and demonstrated the skills needed by local employers. This stream continues to be a strong option for international students who want to stay and work in Manitoba after graduation.
2. Skilled Worker in Manitoba Stream
26 invitations were issued to individuals with strong ties to the province, such as current employment with a Manitoba company. Candidates selected typically have a valid job offer and an established work history in the province, giving them a significant advantage when applying for permanent residence.
Key Takeaways for Prospective Applicants
- Targeted Selection: Manitoba is prioritizing individuals who are already contributing to the province or are likely to integrate quickly into the local labour market.
- Settlement Intent Matters: Candidates with education or work experience in Manitoba—and those with genuine plans to live there—are seeing greater success.
- Continuous Opportunities: While the number of invitations may seem small, draws are held regularly. Staying prepared and informed is essential.
