Latest Manitoba PNP Draws Nominates 305 Profiles Including Express Entry For Canada PR

Manitoba held a new set of provincial immigration draws on December 01. The Expression of Interest (EOI) draws led to 305 new Letters of Advice to Apply (LAA) for provincial nominations from Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP).

An Expression of Interest (EOI) profile is not an application for Canadian immigration but an immigration profile that is evaluated and assessed for 1,000 points based on core human capital, mainly work experience, education, and language proficiency.

The prairie province of Canada invited a mixed pool of on-shore as well as off-shore immigration candidates. They qualified for various Manitoba PNP immigration streams while some were also registered under the Canada Express Entry pool to apply for provincial nominations.

Breakdown of December 01 MPNP draw:

About 31 invitations went to candidates registered in the federal Express Entry pool
43 invitations with a minimum EOI score of 673 under Skilled Workers Overseas
206 invitations with a minimum EOI score of 775 under Skilled Workers in Manitoba
56 invitations with no EOI score requirement under International Education Stream

Expressions of Interest from Skilled Workers Overseas candidates have only been considered if they:

were directly invited by the MPNP under a Strategic Recruitment Initiative, or
have a valid Express Entry profile number and Job Seeker validation code.

Manitoba PNP on new NOC 2021

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) switched to a new classification for economic-class immigrants earlier this month.

Each year some 15,000 people from countries all over the world move to Manitoba in search of better career opportunities and a standard of life.

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) has aligned its provincial intake in December 01 draw with the 2021 version of the National Occupational Classification (NOC).

However, if your MPNP application was submitted before November 16, 2022, the MPNP nomination and subsequent permanent residence application will be assessed using NOC 2016.

General Employment Trends Across Canada Promise Better Scope For Skilled Immigration

Statistics Canada released its latest Labour Force Survey for November 2022 and noted some encouraging trends that could facilitate more opportunities for immigration.

While November 2022 saw employment in Canada grow by 10,000 jobs, the most interesting trends include

Rise in the total employment rate among core working-aged Canadians rose 0.8% year-over-year (YOY) to 84.7% in November 2022
The highest employment rate in history among recent immigrants who are grouped under core working-aged women (25-54 years) at 69.7% in November 2022.
The employment rate for core working-aged men is now up to 87.8%.

Canada saw employment gains across industries: finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing, manufacturing, information, culture, and recreation (ICR) in November 2022. Further, the national unemployment rate in Canada has dropped to the current 5.1% in November 2022.

Additionally, the “average hourly wages of employees remained above 5% for a sixth consecutive month in November, up to $32.11” from November of 2021.

Immigration-led Employment Gains

2021 census data confired 23% of Canada’s population is an immigrant. These immigrants are people who are or have ever been landed immigrants or permanent residents in Canada.

The survey also found immigrants who arrived in Canada over the past five years had an employment rate of 70.7%. We know for a fact that a quarter of registered nurses and 36% of physicians in Canada are not Canadian-born.

Further, the latest labor force survey shows employment increased in Quebec but declined in provinces like Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Labrador, Manitoba, and British Columbia.

In any case, the recent trends are expected eventually open up more new opportunities for immigrants.

British Columbia Resumes PNP Draws Inviting Over 300 Profiles To Qualify For Canada PR

British Columbia resumes its provincial nomination after a brief pause to align with the new NOC 2021 system for points-based assessment of intake applicants.

The British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) held two draws on November 28, one a general draw and the other targeting immigration candidates from specific professions.

November 28 BC PNP draws issued over 253 invitations to apply (ITAs) for general candidates, and at least 75 ITAs to targeted professions across all streams including:

Skilled Worker
Skilled Worker-Express Entry BC Option
International Graduate;
International Graduate-Express Entry BC option and
Entry Level and Semi-Skilled Worker streams.

All applicants were invited with varying cut-offs ranging from 60 (for targeted occupations) and 82-105 (for targeted occupations) to apply for provincial nominations and eventually qualify for Canada permanent residency.

The latest BC PNP draws also resulted in targeting individuals with the following occupations:

Early childhood educators and assistants (NOC 42202);
Healthcare assistants (NOC 33102); and
Other priority occupations, specifically Veterinarians (NOC 31103) and Animal health technologists and veterinary technicians (NOC 32104).

Spouses Of Existing Open Work Permit Holders Can Apply For Open Work Permits In Canada

Introducing a landmark policy change in family immigration, Minister Sean Fraser announced the expansion of Open Work Permits (OWP) to the spouses of OWP holders.

Until now, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) restricted open work permits to spousal sponsorship only, where either of the spouses must be a Canadian citizen or hold Canadian permanent residency.

The new announcement made on 02 December, 2022 extends the scope of eligibility for Open Work Permits (OWP) to even the spouses of OWP holders who are neither citizens nor permanent residents of Canada.

The program is expected to be implemented at the start of 2023.

IRCC Expects More Than 100,000 New Work Permit Applications

Work permits allow any foreign nationals to work in Canada, irrespective of their residency status in Canada.

While Work Permits are issued for a specific job with a specific employer, an Open Work Permit allows foreign nationals to legally work in Canada for any employer and in any job.

The change in Canadian family immigration policy to expand the eligibility of Open Work Permits to spouses of OWP is expected to attract more immigrants

Canada is expecting more than 100,000 new work permit applications in the coming year to work, and potentially even settle, in Canada.

The new change will be implemented in three phases from 2023:

High-wage stream – For spouses of higher-paid workers who hold an open work permit (eg: spouses of Post Graduate Work Permit holders).;
Provinces and territories stream – For spouses of lower wage workers (e.g.: OWP holders under the International Experience Canada program, which recently saw an increase in program size); and
Families of agriculture workers – This phase would specifically deal with families of seasonal agriculture workers, a key stream of employment that Canada is trying to expand as part of its economic recovery.

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser expects greater collaboration with provinces and employers to make phases two and three of new changes to OWP eligibility successful.

However, Canada continues to post record job vacancies along with ambitious annual immigration targets of more than 465,000 immigrants in 2023.

About 60% will come under economic-class programs like Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, and others. In this context, you will find our previous blog on the top in-demand jobs in Canada that could help you qualify for Canadian immigration in 2023.

Take this free assessment online to determine your eligibility for immigration.

Canadian Immigration Options for International Students

Canada’s Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program is one of the most popular immigration options for international students. It allows them to gain work experience and have a better chance at qualifying for permanent residency, especially through the Canadian Experience Class under Express Entry.

The Provincial Nominee Program is another significant immigration program for international students. There are dedicated provincial immigration streams from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Ontario that nominated international student graduates to apply for provincial nominations.

If you are in the Express Entry pool already, you may be invited to apply for a provincial nomination. Then if you get the nomination, it will mean you get 600 points added to your score and you will be able to apply for immigration as a PNP candidate!

World’s Best Cities Report Puts Canadian Cities Among The Top Urban Destinations

Toronto & four other Canadian cities feature in the World’s Best Cities report 2022. The report is prepared by Resonance Consultancy, a marketing consultant specializing in areas like tourism and real estate.

“Toronto’s top 25 finish this year is powered by diversity and education, with its eponymous university, University of Toronto, ranking #9 globally and its residents finishing #20 for the planet’s most educated,” read a statement from Resonance Consultancy.

The report analyzed urban destinations across 195 countries and included Canadian cities of Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, and Ottawa among the top 100 urban destinations in the world.

Canadian Cities Provide Better International Education & Business Opportunities

Toronto is placed at 24 ahead of Sydney in Australia which is at 25th, Lisbon in Portugal at 37, and Athens in Greece at 53.

Other Canadian cities like Montreal are ranked at 57, Calgary at 65, Vancouver at 69, and Ottawa at 96th are among the top 100 world’s Best Cities.

Montreal made its place in the top 100 cities due to its response during and after the pandemic. The culture of the city has been ranked high at 22. McGill University in the city got 27th rank while Université de Montréal was ranked 57.

Vancouver is ranked 69 in the global ranking due to its universities, culture, and beauty.

Ottawa, the capital city of Canada has been ranked 96. The residents of the country have been ranked at 15 due to education.

There are 1,800 businesses in the cities related to life sciences, technology, software, digital media, software, and aerospace. Thousands of jobs are available in the city and the cost of living is also very low in comparison to other cities in the country.

Canadian Cities are Popular Among Immigrants

According to Statistics Canada, Calgary had welcomed nearly 46% of total immigrants moving to Alberta. During the same period, nearly 81% of total immigrants moving to British Columbia landed in Vancouver and about 76% of immigrants who moved to Ontario chose Toronto as their preferred destination.

Toronto is the largest city in Canada and is a competitor to Silicon Valley and Seattle in terms of tech jobs and settlements. Since 2013, it has added about 80,100 tech jobs and skilled foreign immigrants were its major beneficiaries.

Calgary, Alberta is known for heavy establishments such as the oil and gas industry and the same requires a skilled workforce which is fulfilled by foreign skilled Immigration.

Vancouver is applauded for maintaining corruption-free public services, a high level of secularism, and greater sensitivity to climate change. Toronto outranked other Canadian cities in healthcare and education services.

Additionally, a recent study by the Canadian Bureau for International Education ranked Canada’s stability as the number one deciding factor for international students.

Benefits of Canada Immigration now include Gender Equality

Direct PR pathway, favorable policies, and multiculturalism remain to be the marketing words for Canadian immigration. A new criterion is now added to the benefits of Canadian immigration.

In another report by Bloomberg prepared in 2021, Toronto ranked highly on equality, maternity, and wealth.

For career women like Lara Zink, gender equity is becoming an increasing imperative. “I had a 20-plus-year career in capital markets at one of Canada’s Big Five banks while raising two children as a single mom, which was both challenging and rewarding,” she says.

She remarks, “Today most women working in finance in Toronto take up to 12 months maternity leave, and many men are now taking advantage of parental leave policies, too. It goes a long way in reducing the stigma attached to maternity leave for women.”

Qualifying for Canadian Permanent Residency

Canada aims to welcome over 500,000 new permanent residents each year by 2025.

Statistics Canada in its payroll employment, earnings and hours, and job vacancies report for September 2022 noted 994,800 vacant payroll employment positions in Canada.

Express Entry Draws: November Ends With Lower CRS Score And 4,750 ITAs For Canada PR

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held its second all-program Express Entry draws in November.

The latest draw on November 23 maintained the same number of invitations to apply (ITA) at 4,750 but lowered the qualifying Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score to 491 points, three points drop from the previous November 3 Express Entry draws.

OVERVIEW OF EXPRESS ENTRY LATEST DRAWS #236
Record-breaking Draw Size	4,750 invitations to apply for Canada PR
Lower Express Entry Cut-off	Minimum CRS score required was 491
Is the Tie-break rule applied?	Profiles registered on or before October 13, 2022, 11:22:17 UTC were invited. This is particularly helpful in cases where two or more candidates end up with the same CRS score.

This is the eleventh consecutive all-program Express Entry draw since July 06 as Canada resumed PR nominations for Federal Skilled Worker Program after a gap of nearly 18 months.

Federal Skilled Worker Program allows direct PR pathways for foreign skilled workers based on their work experience. Receiving a provincial nomination can boost the Express Entry CRS score by additional 600 points.

A common trend among all the draws since resuming is a consistent increase in draw size and a decline in qualifying scores to accommodate more profiles. This has led to a decrease in the Canadian immigration application backlog.

Official data reveals that IRCC invited over 30,000 candidates through Express Entry since then.

Fill in this free online assessment to know more about your eligibility for various other immigration programs.

Proposed Changes to the Express Entry System in 2023

The 2023-2025 annual targets for Express Entry landings (principal applicants, spouses, and dependents) are projected at

82,880 ITAs in 2023
109,020 ITAs in 2024
114,000 ITAs in 2025

IRCC is expected to issue ITAs for Canada PR to eligible candidates with specific work experience, education, or language ability. The occupation group choice would depend on Canada’s prevailing market demand.

This will impact the relevance of CRS scores in some instances and may become less vital in future draws.

You can get in touch with our expert consultants to know your chances of qualifying.

Self-employed physicians can apply under Express Entry for PR

Immigration Minister Sean Fraser recently announced new measures to enable physicians to apply under Express Entry and directly qualify for Canadian permanent residency.

Until now, physicians or doctors who practice in Canada could not qualify for Express Entry

programs since they were considered self-employed. Being self-employed in Canada for the purpose of gaining work experience did not make them eligible for most economic immigration pathways, including Express Entry.

However, if you’re self-employed with at least one year of work experience in your home country, you can still apply for permanent residence through the Express Entry program.

Also, read how the shift to the new TEER System will affect Canada Express Entry CRS.

November PNP Draws From Prince Edward Island Issues 188 Invites For Canada PR

Prince Edward Island held two nomination draws within a gap of two weeks in November. Together, 188 invitations to apply (ITAs) for provincial nominations were issued under either one of the three streams: Express Entry, Labour, and Business streams.

It is unusual for Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP) to hold two draws in a month. The provincial draw held on November 3 issued 39 candidates through the Labour and Express Entry stream, while November 17 PEI PNP draw invited 142 candidates through the Labour and Express Entry streams.

Additionally, eight candidates received invitations to apply for provincial nomination through the Business Work Permit Entrepreneur streams.

The qualifying threshold for business invitations was reduced to 62 (ten points lower than the previous October month draw) under the unique provincial points grid.

Take this free assessment online to determine your eligibility to get a provincial nomination.

Qualify for Canada PR Under PEI PNP

In order to be considered for nominations under PEI PNP provincial draws, candidates must create an Expression Of Interest (EOI) profile with the province.

EOI profiles are given points based on the province’s unique points grid. The highest-scoring candidates are then invited to apply through monthly draws.

PEI PNP Express Entry & Labout Impact category

If a candidate is already registered in the federal Express Entry pool, they could qualify for provincial nomination under the PEI PNP Express Entry category.

Foreigners like Skilled Workers, Critical Workers, and International Graduates with a valid job offer in PEI, and having support from their employer may qualify under the Labour Impact category.

PEI PNP Business Impact category

Prince Edward Island also favors the immigration of foreign entrepreneurs to boost its economy. Such candidates are issued invitations under the Work Permit Stream, which is for foreign entrepreneurs who want to own and operate a business in PEI.

Further, eligible candidates with a successful provincial nomination can apply to the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residency.

Future of PEI PNP Draws

The division between provincial invitations issued over the last 12 months (Dec 16, 2021, to November 17, 2022):

Business Invitations over the last 12 months – 8% (129)
Labour Invitations including Express Entry over the last 12 months – 92% (1647)

Prince Edward Island is among the four Atlantic provinces in Canada which is dependent on immigration for their population growth and sustaining the economy. The other three provinces Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick are also making significant efforts to welcome and retain more immigrants.

Interestingly, Prince Edward Island is Canada’s smallest province yet has the country’s highest population growth rate. Thus, it enjoys Canada’s highest per capita intake of foreign newcomers.
