A total of 862 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) were issued to applicants who wished to immigrate to Canada as permanent residents by the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program-MPNP draw of October 2025.
This most recent draw, Expression of Interest Draw 255 was conducted on October 9, 2025 and carries on with the Manitoba emphasis on bringing to the province skilled professionals in the fields of healthcare, care giving, and strategic community development.
As the demand of skilled health workers is on the increase throughout the province, this attraction highlights the fact that the province is keen on filling the serious deficits in labour particularly in regional and high priority jobs.

Skilled Worker in Manitoba & Skilled Worker Stream
Health Occupations & Caregivers
Out of the 862 invitations,
583 were issued through the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream in the case of health-related positions.
279 were issued under the Skilled Worker Stream with tactical recruitment plans.
This two pronged strategy indicates the balanced approach of the province not only in terms of retaining its own workers who are already contributing to its economy, but also in terms of attracting foreign professionals to fill the current workforce requirements.
1. Skilled Worker in Manitoba: Health and Caregiver Priority
The largest portion of invitations—583 LAAs—went to candidates currently employed in Manitoba in the health and caregiving sectors.
Targeted Occupation:
NOC 44101 – Home support workers, caregivers, and related occupations
This category includes personal support workers, home caregivers, health aides, and nursing assistants—positions crucial to sustaining the healthcare system.
The second element of this draw was 279 candidates under the Manitoba Skilled Worker Stream which welcomes applicants who were contacted directly by MPNP as a part of its strategic recruitment process.

The total number of invitations sent was 862, out of which 203 candidates reported to have a valid Express Entry profile number and job seeker validation code, which allowed them to expedite their Permanent Residency (PR) application via federal immigration routes.
Applicants in the regulated health occupations (nurses, medical technicians, and care aides) were given a priority should they possess active Manitoba licenses.
However, MPNP warned that candidates might be denied the application in case they fail to demonstrate their licensing status and those who do not pass the requirements in professional regulation.
It is highly recommended that applicants should ensure that they have checked their professional credentials before submitting an application in order to have an easy time.
MPNP Allocation Increase In October 2025
On October 8, 2025, a day before the draw, Manitoba on the other hand declared that it would increase its PNP nomination allocation to 6,239 (upcoming year) compared to 4,750.
