Manitoba PNP Draws 2026: Latest Results, Scores and How the EOI Draw Works

Which Manitoba streams hold draws?

Short answer: Manitoba draws candidates through four main pathways: Skilled Worker in Manitoba (SWM), Skilled Worker Overseas (SWO), the International Education Stream (IES), and the Business Investor Stream. Most invitations go to the two Skilled Worker streams.

Skilled Worker in Manitoba is for people already working in the province, usually on a work permit, with a job offer from a Manitoba employer. Skilled Worker Overseas is for candidates outside Canada who have a genuine connection to Manitoba and score at least 60 of 100 points on the assessment factors. The International Education Stream serves graduates of Manitoba post-secondary institutions. The Business Investor Stream targets entrepreneurs planning to start or buy a business in the province. Each stream has its own criteria, so the pathway that fits you depends on your situation. You can read more about provincial options on our provincial nominee overview.

How do you get invited in a Manitoba PNP draw?

Short answer: Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile, make sure your Manitoba connection and points are as strong as possible, and wait to be ranked in a draw. If your score is high enough when the MPNP draws your stream, you receive a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA) and then submit a full nomination application.

The steps are straightforward on paper. First, confirm you meet a stream's eligibility. Second, build and submit your EOI, which is free and valid for the pool. Third, strengthen the factors you control, such as language test results and your documented connection to Manitoba. A provincial nomination, once approved, adds 600 points to a federal Express Entry profile, which effectively guarantees a federal invitation to apply for permanent residence. Because the ranking rules and connection requirements are detailed, many applicants have a licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) review their profile first. If you want that review, you can book a consultation.

When was the last PNP draw in Manitoba?

Short answer: Manitoba's most recent reported draw was on July 16, 2026, and the program runs new draws roughly every two weeks. Exact dates are never on a fixed schedule.

The MPNP does not publish an advance calendar, so there is no guaranteed date for the next round. It has, however, kept a steady rhythm of roughly two draws per month through 2026, inviting candidates across its Skilled Worker and education streams. The safest way to track it is the official draws archive, which the province updates within a day or two of each round. If you are in the pool, watch your MPNP account, since a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA) appears there directly rather than by separate email alone.

What is the PNP score for Manitoba?

Short answer: Manitoba scores Expression of Interest (EOI) candidates out of 1,000 points, and Skilled Worker Overseas applicants must reach at least 60 of 100 on the underlying assessment factors to be eligible. The draw cut-off then depends on how the rest of the pool ranks that day.

The 1,000-point EOI ranking weighs your connection to Manitoba most heavily, then language, age, education, and work experience. Meeting the 60-point eligibility floor for Skilled Worker Overseas gets you into the pool, but it does not guarantee an invitation, since draws invite the highest-ranked candidates first. A strong, well-documented Manitoba connection, competitive language scores, and skilled work experience are what push a profile above recent cut-offs. Confirm the current point grid on the province's official site before you submit.

Is there an MPNP draw today?

Short answer: There may or may not be. Manitoba does not draw daily and does not announce draws in advance, so the only way to know is to check the official MPNP draws page, which is updated after each round.

Draws happen on the province's own schedule, usually a couple of times a month rather than daily. Third-party sites and social posts often repeat draw news a day or two late, so the official draws archive is always the fastest reliable source. If today is not a draw day, the most useful thing you can do is make sure your Expression of Interest (EOI) profile is complete and your score is as high as possible, so you are ready when your stream is next invited.

What was the last PNP draw?

Short answer: Across Canada, provinces run PNP draws on their own timelines, and Manitoba's most recent reported round was July 16, 2026. Other provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta, hold separate draws under their own programs.

"The last PNP draw" depends on which province you mean, because each Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) runs independently. Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Atlantic provinces each publish their own draw results. If Manitoba is your target, follow the MPNP draws page. If you are open to more than one province, it is worth comparing where your profile ranks best, which is something a consultant can map out with you.

Is 67 points required for PNP?

Short answer: No. The 67-point pass mark belongs to the federal Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) eligibility grid, not to Manitoba's PNP. Manitoba uses its own separate scoring, and Skilled Worker Overseas requires at least 60 of 100 points to be eligible.

The 67-of-100 figure is a common mix-up because it comes from a different federal test. Provincial Nominee Programs set their own thresholds, and Manitoba's Skilled Worker Overseas floor is 60 points on its five assessment factors, with a separate 1,000-point EOI ranking used to decide who gets invited. Always check the criteria for the exact stream you are applying under, since the number that matters is the one your province publishes, not the federal FSW pass mark.

What this means for you

Manitoba is one of the more accessible provinces for candidates with a real connection to it, and its steady draw rhythm gives applicants regular chances to be invited. The number that decides your outcome is your ranking score in the pool, not any past cut-off. If you are not sure which Manitoba stream fits you or how to strengthen your score, a licensed RCIC at Go Far Global can review your profile and map the fastest realistic path. Book a consultation and we will go through your options.
