July 30’s MPNP draw sent 766 Letters of Advice to Apply, with 696 going through the Skilled Worker in Manitoba pathway and 70 through strategic recruitment initiatives.
Manufacturing and utilities workers dominated the round: 605 invitations went to candidates employed in Broad Occupational Category 9, with a 632 cut-off score for that selection.
Another 74 invitations targeted seven specific occupations already working in Manitoba, including aerospace engineers, aircraft mechanics, pilots, facility operations managers and family physicians; 17 went to francophone candidates.
Only 94 invitees declared a valid Express Entry profile and job seeker validation code, and Manitoba said some otherwise eligible candidates could be screened out over invalid language-test IDs or missing recruitment invitation numbers.
The draw heavily favored candidates already in the province and lifted Manitoba’s 2026 total to 4,822 invitations across 15 selection rounds.
