The Manitoba Expression of Interest Draw #274 held on 2 July 2026 as part of the MPNP. It focused on candidates invited directly via Manitoba’s recruitment efforts and the Temporary Public Policy pathway. Additionally, 77 Letters of Advice to Apply were issued to eligible candidates in the Skilled Worker Stream. This provides skilled foreign workers with yet another chance to get closer to Canadian permanent residence through Manitoba’s immigration options.

Manitoba Expression of Interest Draw #274 – Breakdown
So the most recent Manitoba Immigration draw seemed to focus on people who had already sent in their profiles using either the Skilled Worker in Manitoba stream or the Skilled Worker Overseas stream and who had also gotten a direct invitation from the MPNP earlier, as part of a recognized MPNP strategic recruitment initiative, kind of like a formal outreach thing.
Distribution of Invitations
- Employer Services – 36
- Francophone Community – 8
- Regional Communities – 2
- Temporary Public Policy (TPP) – 31
Total invitations issued – 77
Express Entry Candidates Were Invited
In this round, 77 Letters of Advice to Apply (LAAs) were issued… and from that, 15 invitations were actually awarded to candidates who put in a valid Express Entry profile number and, also, a valid job seeker validation code. So, it’s fair to say that some of the people who did get through might get to a quicker route toward Canadian permanent residence, via the federal Express Entry process, more or less in an accelerated way.
Who Was Considered in Draw #274?
The draw looked at candidates who –
- submitted an Expression of Interest Draw #274 profile under the Skilled Worker in Manitoba pathway, or
- submitted an Expression of Interest under the Skilled Worker Overseas pathway and
- had been sent a direct invitation through a recognized MPNP strategic recruitment initiative, or
- qualified under the Temporary Public Policy to Facilitate Work Permits for Prospective Provincial Nominee Program Candidates (TPP)
What This Draw Means for Immigration Candidates
So, the latest Manitoba PNP Draw #274, July 2026, sort of shows Manitoba keeps putting real emphasis on recruiting skilled workers with those targeted efforts. The big number of invitations coming through the Employer Services stream and the Temporary Public Policy or (TPP) route, really points to the province’s ongoing plan to deal with labour market gaps, while also helping employers who are looking for properly qualified international candidates.
For people thinking about Canada immigration via the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program, staying on top of an accurate and up-to-date EOI profile still matters a lot. If you didn’t get an LAA this time, it could be because of an invalid or expired language test number, or a missing invitation number. Updating your profile with accurate data ensures you remain competitive for selection opportunities in the next pool.
