This marks the first step in what is anticipated to be another dynamic year for Manitoba’s immigration program, which will focus on skilled workers and regional needs.

This stream underscores Manitoba’s commitment to retaining talent cultivated within its borders, offering opportunities for individuals who have already integrated into the province’s academic and cultural environment.
To address specific regional labor market needs, the Skilled Worker Overseas stream targeted candidates indicating Winkler as their destination of choice. This selection aligns with Manitoba’s strategy to support smaller communities and enhance regional economic development.
Key Highlights:
Number of LAAs Issued: 52
Ranking Score of Lowest-Ranked Candidate Invited: 615
Manitoba aims to bolster the workforce in Winkler, a city known for its thriving industries and welcoming community by focusing on region-specific candidates.
Of the 197 total LAAs issued, 52 were extended to candidates with an active Express Entry profile and a valid job seeker validation code. These candidates benefit from an expedited pathway to permanent residency, highlighting the importance of Express Entry integration within Manitoba’s PNP framework.
This draw reinforces Manitoba’s proactive approach to addressing its economic and demographic needs. By prioritizing candidates with strong provincial ties and those targeting regional destinations, the province is ensuring that immigration contributes to balanced growth across urban and rural areas.
