The state authorities of Manitoba periodically issue invitations to highly skilled immigrants to apply for Permanent Residence status. If you apply for immigration to Manitoba then you need to fulfil both the state and national minimal criteria before you will be invited to apply for PR. The minimal score required to be invited to submit an Express of Interest (EOI) letter is 60 out of 100. The criteria are subject to change at anytime especially the in-Demand list of occupations which is subject to the National Occupation Classification (NOC) of the central government. Therefore, it is important to stay in-the-know of all the facets of the point-based system
