Manitoba has released fresh results from its newest MPNP draw, held on November 6, 2025, and the update offers a strong push forward for skilled workers. The province issued 47 Letters of Advice to Apply across both the Skilled Worker in Manitoba and Skilled Workers Overseas pathways. Another highlight: 10 candidates with valid Express Entry details and a job seeker validation code were also selected, adding momentum to this MPNP draw and shaping Manitoba’s talent roadmap for the year.

Manitoba’s Selection Results in Detail

This round is officially labeled Expression of Interest (EOI) Draw #257. It focused strictly on individuals who were directly invited by the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program through strategic recruitment. It also includes applicants supported by the Temporary Public Policy allowing work permits for prospective nominees.

By this date in 2025, Manitoba has issued 7,062 invitations, with 1,277 linked to the federal Express Entry system. These numbers highlight how closely Manitoba aligns its provincial needs with federal pathways, rewarding applicants who already have federal profiles in place.

Breakdown of Groups Targeted in the MPNP Draw

The 47 invitations were divided across several targeted recruitment groups:

• Employer Services: 11
• Francophone Community: 18
• Regional Communities: 12
• Ethnocultural Communities: 4
• Temporary Public Policy (TPP): 2

Among them, 10 belonged to candidates who declared valid Express Entry information. Manitoba continues to show strong interest in bilingual applicants, region-focused settlement potential, and communities that support long-term demographic stability.

Why Manitoba Used a Narrow Candidate Pool

Although many applicants maintain active EOIs, not all were considered in this round. Manitoba assessed only those who had direct invitations through strategic initiatives or who qualified under the TPP arrangement. This decision lets Manitoba prioritize individuals already linked to provincial employers, communities, and regions with specific labour gaps.

Some applicants who seem eligible but were not selected may have issues in their EOI, such as:

• missing or expired language test numbers
• invalid invitation numbers
• outdated information that no longer matches program rules

Manitoba encourages these applicants to correct their details to avoid missing future opportunities.

Updates on Licensing for Regulated Occupations

A small set of candidates working in regulated roles were invited. However, Manitoba also warns that applications can be refused if the required licensing documents cannot be provided later. This reminder prevents applicants from moving forward if they lack the credentials needed to work legally in the province.

Why This Draw Matters for Skilled Workers

This draw reflects Manitoba’s consistent pattern: select candidates who can enter the labour market quickly and settle with fewer barriers. Strong employer connections, French language skills, and ties to regional communities continue to improve selection chances.

What This MPNP Draw Means for Your Next Steps

This MPNP draw reinforces Manitoba’s focus on targeted recruitment and job-ready applicants. Anyone hoping to be chosen should keep their EOI updated, maintain valid test numbers, and secure strong ties to Manitoba. The province’s selection cycles remain active, and preparation is key.
