Manitoba invited 132 Express Entry candidates to apply for a provincial nomination July 9 in its second Expression of Interest draw in three days. Once again, the minimum ranking score was 519 \u2014 the lowest score yet for Manitoba\u2019s Express Entry sub-stream.<\/p>\n

The 132 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAA) issued through Manitoba\u2019s\u00a0Express Entry-linked\u00a0Skilled Workers Overseas sub-stream<\/a>\u00a0followed 202 LAAs\u00a0issued to Express Entry candidates on July 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The July 9 draw issued invitations to candidates with a valid Express Entry profile and job-seeker validation code and at least six months of recent experience in an occupation on Manitoba\u2019s\u00a0In-Demand Occupation list<\/a>\u00a0that is designated skill level \u201cB\u201d under Canada\u2019s\u00a0National Occupational Classification (NOC) system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This specification was different than the July 6 draw, which did not limit work experience to NOC B occupations.<\/p>\n

Eligible Express Entry candidates must also have the confirmed support of a close friend or relative who has resided in Manitoba for at least one year, among other\u00a0criteria<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The July 9 draw was the seventh that Manitoba has held since introducing its Express Entry-linked sub-stream in January 2018. Since then, a total of 1,155 Express Entry candidates have received LAAs under this sub-stream.<\/p>\n

The federal\u00a0Express Entry system<\/a>\u00a0manages applications for Canada\u2019s three economic immigration categories \u2014 the\u00a0Federal Skilled Worker Class<\/a>, the\u00a0Federal Skilled Trades Class<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Canadian Experience Class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most Canadian provinces and territories have at least one immigration pathway that allows them to select candidates in the Express Entry pool and invite them to apply for a provincial nomination.<\/p>\n

An Express Entry candidate who applies for and receives a provincial nomination is awarded an additional 600 points toward their\u00a0Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS)<\/a>\u00a0score.<\/p>\n

Express Entry candidates who are interested in being considered under this sub-stream must first register an\u00a0Expression of Interest<\/a>\u00a0with the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program.<\/p>\n

An Expression of Interest is not an application but is instead a way for individuals to indicate that they wish to be considered for a particular immigration stream or program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
