Manitoba issues PNP invitations to skilled workers. Below are the results for the same.
Manitoba
On April 3, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) held a draw under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream.
This draw targeted applicants who had been directly invited by the MPNP through a strategic recruitment initiative.
A total of four Letters of Advice to Apply were issued in this draw. The lowest-ranked applicant invited had a score of 721.
Of the applicants who obtained LAAs in this draw, none of them declared a valid Express Express profile number or job seeker validation code.
Strategic Recruitment Initiatives In Manitoba
Strategic recruitment initiatives are a tool used by the MPNP to help employers fill labor shortages by recruiting skilled international workers.
Moreover, these initiatives are designed for Manitoba employers who can demonstrate an immediate and ongoing need for qualified workers that cannot be met through the local labor market.
To participate, employers must first meet eligibility requirements for the roles they are hiring for and complete the required ABC Requirement Process. This process is similar to the process of applying for an LMIA, i.e., Labor Market Impact Assessment.
Once approved, employers can identify and submit the profile of international applicants who meet MPNP program criteria.
Applicants referred to these initiatives must demonstrate ability and intent to settle in Manitoba and should have a full-time, permanent, or long-term job offer in hand.
In addition, applicants have to meet the following requirements:
- Be aged between 21- 45 years old (exceptions may be made if specifically requested by the employer)
- Have completed their post-secondary education if required by the occupation or employer. Some pilots may accept on-the-job training instead
- Have relevant work experience of at least 2 years of full-time work within the past 5 years
- Have proven language proficiency equivalent to:
- Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 5 in all skill areas for candidates in TEER 0 – 3 occupations
- CLB level 4 in all skill areas for candidates in TEER 4–5 occupations: Minimum CLB 4
Priority is given to applicants intending to live outside the Winnipeg Metropolitans Regions. Furthermore, applicants with strong ties to other provinces may be considered a retention risk and could be refused.
Note that TEER refers to the training, education, experience, and responsibility scale of the National Occupation Classification. The TEER scale measures the level of skill required for an occupation based on the four criteria it assesses per the scale:
- TEER 0 occupations are the most skills and align with occupations in managerial roles
- TEER 1 to TEER 5 refer to other skilled occupations, with TEER 1 professions generally requiring a university degree while TEER 5 professions have minimal training requirements
