A look at the latest PNP draw results in BC, Manitoba and Ontario.

 


Canadian provinces regularly nominate candidates through their provincial nominee programs, giving them the opportunity to become permanent residents of Canada. Last week, Manitoba and B.C. announced the results of their new Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws, and Ontario provided details on the May draw.

Most Canadian provinces and territories (except Quebec and Nunavut) have their own PNPs. Through these programs, interested candidates may be invited to apply for provincial nominations. While provincial nomination itself is not equivalent to permanent resident status, it can greatly increase your chances of obtaining permanent resident status.

For example, a nominated PNP candidate with an Express Entry profile will receive an additional 600 points. You may also be invited to apply for specific PNP invitation rounds. In the latest Express Submission draw, held on May 27, Canada invited 589 NPP candidates with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 741.

Below is a summary of recent PNP invitation rounds held across Canada.

British Columbia

British Columbia typically hosts weekly invitations to the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). The final round of invitations to the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) took place on May 31. In these draws, more than 167 candidates received invitations to compete for the provincial nomination.

A total of 147 candidates were invited by lottery. These candidates must meet the requirements of one of the Express Entry BC or British Columbia Skilled Immigration categories administered through the Skills and Immigration Registration System (SIRS).

Candidates invited to participate in this draw are from the Professional, International Graduate, and Entry-level, and Self-Study subcategories, requiring a provincial minimum score between 76 and 123, depending on the stream.

The province also conducts recruitment rounds for candidates in specific occupations to meet growing workforce demands in specific industries. This week, the province invites:

  • 15 early childhood educators (NOC 4214) with a minimum score of 60;
  • 5 health workers with at least 60 points;
  • Fewer than 5 health workers (NOC 3413) with a score of at least 60;
  • Fewer than five animal health technicians and veterinarians (NOC 3114 and NOC 3213) with a score of at least 60.

Manitoba

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) invited 146 candidates to apply on June 2. Invitations are distributed between two immigration streams:

  1.          Skilled Workers Overseas — 92 invitations with a minimum score of 714 and
  2.          International Education Stream — 54 invitations with no score requirement.

 Of all those invited to apply, 34 had profiles in the Express Entry system.

Those interested in a Manitoba provincial nomination must register an Expression of Interest (EOI) with the MPNP. Manitoba ranks candidates' profiles out of 1,000 based on their human capital factors and their ties to the province. The MPNP then sends out invitations to eligible candidates to apply for provincial nominations for Manitoba skilled workers and overseas skilled workers.

Ontario

Ontario has suspended the release of the results of the Ontario Immigrant Candidate Program (OINP) draw due to provincial elections.

We contacted the OINP for details on draws that took place during the month of May. According to the data provided by the province, two rounds of invitations were held during the past month.

On May 4, 2022, the province issued 57 invitations to apply to potential candidates in the Expression of Interest system pool who may qualify for the Employer Job Offer: In-Demand Skills stream with a score of 27 and above.

On May 26, 2022, the province issued 535 notifications of interest to potential candidates who may qualify for Ontario’s Express Entry Skilled Trades stream with a comprehensive ranking system score between 295 and 461.
