The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) has announced plans to conduct targeted draws for individuals who have obtained Manitoba-specific work permits under the temporary public policy facilitating work permits for Provincial Nominee Program candidates (TPP).

All candidates who received a Manitoba Support Letter can expect to receive an invitation to apply (ITA) for provincial nomination in an upcoming draw.

The province will issue ITAs based on Support Letter approval date and is currently prioritizing candidates who were approved between April 22–June 30, 2025.

Invitations will be delivered to the email initially provided in a Support Letter application.

Those who were approved for Support Letters after June 30, 2025, can expect updates from the MPNP regarding ITA issuance at a later date.

Receipt of an ITA is not automatically reflective of one’s ability to include the ITA code associated with the Temporary Public Policy to Facilitate Work Permits for Prospective Provincial Nominee Program Candidates in an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile.

The province outlines multiple requirements one must meet to claim the TPP ITA code in their EOI:

• They are currently in possession of a valid, Manitoba-specific open work permit (OWP) that was issued by the immigration department under this TPP;
  • Those who previously received a Support Letter from Manitoba in 2025, but now hold a non-TPP work permit, are not eligible.
• They are currently employed within the province on a full-time basis, and can show their position is long term and intended to remain full-time;
• They have worked a minimum of six months for an in-province employer, continuously and on a full-time basis;
  • For those who’ve graduated from a post-secondary program in another province or territory, the minimum is one year.
• They can demonstrate that they meet all qualifications required for their declared occupation;
  • This may include requirements pertaining to education, training, work experience, and more.
