In a significant development for immigration enthusiasts, the province of Manitoba proudly announced its most recent Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draw on August 10th, 2023. The draw, which took place under the Manitoba PNP, issued a total of 615 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) for individuals seeking to secure permanent residency in Canada. This announcement has brought hope and excitement to numerous aspiring immigrants across the globe.
The 615 LAAs were distributed among three distinct categories within the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. These categories are designed to cater to a diverse pool of skilled workers, business people, and international graduates who wish to settle in Manitoba and contribute to the province’s economic growth and cultural diversity.
Among the 615 LAAs, a specific allocation of 43 LAAs was reserved for candidates who demonstrated a valid Express Entry profile number and possessed a job seeker validation code. This initiative has been well received by potential immigrants already engaged in the Express Entry system, providing them with an avenue to potentially expedite their pathway to permanent residency in Canada.
