Manitoba has issued 35 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) in its latest Expression of Interest draw, held on November 21, 2025. All invitations went to candidates under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba or Skilled Worker Overseas pathways who were directly invited through strategic recruitment initiatives.
This draw highlights Manitoba’s ongoing focus on attracting workers who have strong ties to the province, employer support, or targeted community connections.
Breakdown of Invitations
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) issued invitations through several strategic initiatives:
- Employer Services – 18
- Francophone Community – 8
- Regional Communities – 8
- Temporary Public Policy for Prospective PNP Candidates (TPP) – 1
The TPP pathway continues to play a niche but important role by helping eligible workers secure Manitoba work permits while their nomination applications move forward.
Of the 35 invitations, 5 were issued to candidates with a valid Express Entry profile and job seeker validation code, meaning they may be eligible for faster federal processing once nominated.
What This Draw Means
This draw reflects Manitoba’s emphasis on the following priorities:
- Supporting employers facing labour shortages
- Strengthening Francophone and regional community growth
- Helping temporary workers transition toward permanent residency
- Ensuring strong alignment between labour market needs and provincial nominations
Manitoba continues to use targeted recruitment initiatives to select candidates who are ready to contribute to provincial labour needs and settle long term in the province.
