On December 14, Manitoba conducted three draws under the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP). The province extended invitations to 160 Skilled Workers in Manitoba who had completed their post-secondary education in the province, with a minimum score requirement of 774.

Alberta
Alberta has recently disclosed the results of a draw involving 19 Express Entry candidates eligible under the Dedicated Healthcare Pathway with Alberta job offer stream of the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program. To qualify, candidates needed a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 300 and above.
The province anticipates that the processing time for applications will be within a three-month timeframe.
Provincial Nominee Program
The Provincial Nominee Program or PNP is a great way to receive a Canadian permanent residency. Each PNP has one stream that is aligned with the Express Entry System, known as ‘Enhanced Nominations’. The advantage of enhanced PNP is that they award an extra CRS score of 600 points, which will guarantee PR to the applicant through express entry. Also, there is another stream under the PNP, known as ‘the base stream’. Here, you can apply to a PNP stream directly and once you obtain a provincial nomination, the federal government will process your permanent residence application.
