The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) has started October 2025 on a strong note, inviting 862 skilled candidates to apply for Permanent Residency (PR) under its latest Expression of Interest (EOI) Draw #255, held on October 9, 2025.
This new Manitoba PNP draw highlights the province’s continuous efforts to attract professionals in healthcare, caregiving, and strategic recruitment sectors, filling critical labour shortages and supporting Manitoba’s growing communities.
🏥 Manitoba-MPNP Draw #255: Key Highlights
| Draw Date | Total Invitations Issued | Streams | Occupation Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 9, 2025 | 862 | Skilled Worker in Manitoba & Skilled Worker Stream | Health & Caregiver Roles |
Out of the 862 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) issued:
-
583 invitations were issued under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream, primarily for health and caregiving occupations.
-
279 invitations were issued through strategic recruitment initiatives targeting overseas candidates in key sectors.
This balanced approach shows Manitoba’s dual commitment — retaining skilled workers already contributing to the province while inviting international talent to sustain its economic and healthcare growth.
👩⚕️ Health and Caregiver Priority in Focus
The largest share of invitations went to candidates employed in Manitoba’s healthcare and caregiving industries.
Targeted Occupation: NOC 44101 – Home Support Workers, Caregivers, and Related Occupations
Category: Healthcare occupations
This includes personal support workers (PSWs), home caregivers, nursing aides, and health assistants, all of whom are essential to the province’s medical infrastructure.
Applicants in regulated healthcare professions such as nurses, technicians, and medical aides were prioritized if they held valid Manitoba licenses. However, the province has advised candidates to verify their credentials and meet regulatory standards before applying to ensure successful PR processing.
🌎 Skilled Worker Stream – Strategic Recruitment
The Skilled Worker Stream accounted for 279 invitations, focusing on candidates recruited through direct MPNP initiatives such as community partnerships and employer collaborations.
Breakdown of Invitations:
| Category | Invitations |
|---|---|
| Employer Services | 45 |
| Francophone Community | 43 |
| Regional Communities | 8 |
| Ethnocultural Communities | 3 |
| Temporary Public Policy for Work Permits | 180 |
This recruitment model strengthens Manitoba’s inclusive immigration vision—welcoming skilled workers from diverse communities who can contribute to the province’s economic development and multicultural identity.
📈 MPNP Nomination Allocation Increased in October 2025
On October 8, 2025, just before the draw, the province announced an expanded nomination allocation from 4,750 to 6,239 for the year — a 31% increase.
| Year | Initial Allocation | Revised Allocation | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 4,750 | 6,239 | +31% |
This increase from IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) ensures more qualified workers—particularly those in healthcare and regional occupations—can transition to Permanent Residency in Canada by the end of 2025.
📊 Manitoba’s 2025 Immigration Trends
Manitoba has been one of Canada’s most consistent and proactive provinces in conducting draws this year. With more than 7,700 invitations issued so far, the province continues to support both domestic workers and international talent.
