Express Entry 2024: MPNP & BCPNP For Skilled Workers & International Graduates

Manitoba and British Columbia have recently made major changes to their provincial immigration policies. To comprehend the significance of these nominations and what they signify for potential immigrants, let’s get into the specifics.

Invitations to Apply for immigration have been sent out by Manitoba and British Columbia via their respective Provincial Nominee Programs. Through streams designated for skilled workers with expertise in critical employment fields, a job offer from the province, or prior academic coursework in the nominating province, candidates were solicited. Go on for a thorough explanation.

Immigration Results May 3rd to 10th

Note: The processes used by various PNPs to rate immigration applicants are unique. Therefore, it is inappropriate to compare the cutoff scores from one PNP’s immigration draws to those from PNPs in other provinces. Furthermore, different titles for ITAs, such as “Notifications of Interest” or “Letters of Advice to Apply,” may be used in particular provinces. But these words all relate to the same type of invitation.

British Columbia PNP

Through the Skilled Worker and International Graduate program (which includes the Express Entry British Columbia option), British Columbia invited a minimum of 77 people. Those with suitable professional experience in industries with in-demand jobs that the British Columbia PNP targets, such as healthcare, child care, construction, tech, and veterinary care, were asked to apply for streams of the program.

Each draw had different minimum scores, with the following cutoffs:

• Child Care draw cut-off score: 90
• Construction draws cut-off score: 93
• Healthcare draw cut-off score: 100
• Tech draw cut-off score: 120
• Veterinary Care draw cut-off score: 80

The Express Entry British Columbia option is included in the International Graduate package. Stream is intended for people who, within the last three years, graduated from a Canadian university or college that qualifies. To be eligible for this stream, an employment offer from a British Columbian employer must be secured.

The stream is an improved PNP stream that conforms to the Federal Express entry standard, as indicated by the statement “includes Express Entry British Columbia option.” this implies that the BC PNP may invite qualified applicants to immigrate to the province through the Express Entry pool through the stream.

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program

This week, 371 candidates were invited by Manitoba via the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. Three distinct streams of candidates were solicited, along with a draw tailored to a particular occupation. The first draw used an occupation-specific selection that focused on profiles that indicated they were currently employed in jobs where there was a significant labor shortage in the province.

Candidates with experience in occupations matching National Occupation Classification codes 7331 (bus drivers, subway operators, and other transit operators) and 70224 (supervisors, motor transport, and other ground transit operators) were given eighteen letters. Canada’s national system for defining and classifying various jobs in the labor market is known as the NOC system.

242 qualified applicants were called to the second draw, which was an all-program selection held under the Manitoba Work Experience and Employer Direct Recruitment Pathways streams for skilled workers. To be invited, candidates had to receive a minimum ranking score of 836.

The International Education Stream invited 76 qualified candidates for the third draw. Graduates from Manitoban institutions who fit the demands of the province’s job market are invited to apply for the International Education Stream. The International Student Entrepreneur Pathway, Graduate Internship Pathway, and Career Employment Pathway are all included in this stream.

Under the Skilled Worker Overseas Stream, 35 candidates with a minimum ranking score of 698 were invited to the most recent draw. Candidates from overseas with professional expertise and in-demand skills can nominate themselves for immigration to Manitoba under the Skilled Worker Overseas stream.

The Human Capital pathway and the Manitoba Express Entry pathway make up the stream. Sixty-six out of the 371 invited candidates indicated they had a valid Express Entry profile and a job seeker validation code.
