Express Entry

Express Entry is a points-based regulatory system that helps Canada to manage applications for skilled workers.

Applicants can either apply for a Canadian PR directly through Express Entry or enter the Express Entry pool and receive a provincial nomination.

To be eligible for Express Entry, you have to meet basic requirements as per one of the three Express Entry programs. You are then ranked based on a CRS score.

The candidates with the highest score receive an invitation to apply (ITA).

You can gain an additional 600 points if you receive a nomination from a province like Manitoba.

About Manitoba PNP

To receive a Manitoba nomination, you must register an Expression of Interest (EOI) with the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program.

PNP candidates must demonstrate a connection to the province by the likes of family ties, prior experience in Manitoba or getting invited through the province’s Strategic Recruitment Initiatives (SRI).

To receive an invitation under the Skilled Worker Program, you must have a full-time employment offer from an employer in the province.

Foreign graduates who have studied in Manitoba will be awarded an invitation if they exhibit that they have in-demand skills.
