The top-scoring EOIs for the MPNP's three application streams—Skilled Workers in Manitoba, Skilled Workers Abroad, and Business Investors—are routinely chosen from the pool in accordance with the MPNP Ranking Points system for Skilled Workers or Program Eligibility for Business Investors, and those chosen are given a Letter of Advice to Apply (LAA). The capacity and annual processing goals determine how many LAAs are issued in each draw.

You have 60 days after receiving a LAA to submit a complete application to the MPNP.

Your LAA will give you guidance on what to do next if you are invited to submit an application.
