Candidates submit profiles and are assigned points based on factors like education, work experience, and connections to Manitoba. Regular draws invite high-ranking candidates to submit a full application for provincial nomination.

Business Investor Stream

• No new draws are currently conducted. All EOIs are reviewed within four weeks. Eligible applicants receive a Letter of Advice to Apply, while others receive feedback.
