What is the Expression of Interest (EOI) System in the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)?

Canada remains one of the most attractive destinations for skilled professionals, business investors, and international students seeking a new life filled with opportunities. Among its provinces, Manitoba stands out due to its strong economy, affordable cost of living, and high demand for skilled workers. To facilitate immigration and match candidates with labor market needs, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) uses an Expression of Interest (EOI) system to assess and select potential applicants for permanent residency.

Understanding the Expression of Interest (EOI) System in MPNP

The Expression of Interest (EOI) system is a pre-application process that allows candidates to indicate their interest in immigrating to Manitoba under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba, Skilled Worker Overseas, or International Education Streams. Unlike a first-come, first-served system, Manitoba selects top-scoring candidates based on several factors such as work experience, education, language proficiency, and ties to Manitoba.

How Does the EOI System Work?

The EOI system follows a step-by-step approach:

1. Creating an Online Profile

Candidates must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile through the MPNP online portal. This profile includes details about:

• Education and qualifications
• Work experience
• Language proficiency (English or French – CLB scores required)
• Connection to Manitoba (e.g., job offer, family ties, past study/work experience)
• Adaptability factors (age, spouse’s qualifications, etc.)

2. Scoring & Ranking System

Once submitted, applicants receive a score based on their EOI profile. Manitoba assigns points based on:

• Language proficiency (up to 125 points)
• Age (up to 75 points, higher scores for younger candidates)
• Work experience (up to 175 points, higher scores for longer experience)
• Education (up to 125 points, higher scores for advanced degrees)
• Adaptability factors (up to 500 points for job offers, past study/work in Manitoba, family connections, etc.)

3. Regular EOI Draws & Invitations

Manitoba conducts EOI draws regularly, inviting the highest-ranking candidates to submit a full application for nomination. If selected, candidates receive a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA).

4. Applying for Provincial Nomination

Candidates who receive an LAA must submit a complete application to the MPNP within 60 days. If approved, Manitoba nominates them for permanent residency, allowing them to apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for PR status.

5. Receiving PR Status

Once the federal application is approved, candidates and their families receive Canadian permanent residency, enabling them to live and work in Manitoba permanently.
