How Manitoba鈥檚 NHL hockey team kick-started the province鈥檚 push for immigration

Ice hockey is a very important part of Canadian culture. So much, that when Manitoba lost its only National Hockey League team to the U.S., a group of business leaders got together to figure out how to get it back. Their solution: bolster immigration.

After the Winnipeg Jets were sold to Pheonix, Arizona, in 1996, the Business Council of Manitoba was formed two years later. In 1999, it helped create Manitoba鈥檚 (PNP), in hopes that increasing the population would stimulate the economy and consequently allow the province to bring back their beloved NHL team.

Manitoba immediately saw an uptick in immigration. The number of immigrants who came to the Prairie Province every year went up from about 3,700 to around 15,000.

As for the Winnipeg Jets, Manitoba got them back in 2011, which had fans across the country shouting, 鈥淕o Jets! Go!鈥

Express Entry Manitoba

Among the LAAs issued in the October 8 draw, 20 went to candidates with a valid profile in the federal .

Candidates who qualify for the Express Entry pool are ranked based on a聽聽(CRS) score that considers human capital factors such as age, work experience, education, and language ability.

The highest-scoring candidates are invited to apply for Canadian permanent residence through聽聽from the Express Entry pool.

Those who receive a provincial nomination are awarded an additional 600 CRS points and are effectively guaranteed an聽聽(ITA) from聽.

Express Entry candidates who received a provincial nomination from Manitoba in this draw declared a valid Express Entry ID and provided a job seeker validation code.

Manitoba鈥檚 EOI system

Under Manitoba鈥檚 system, such candidates are ranked out of 1,000 points for human capital characteristics such as their English or French language skills, education, work experience, Manitoba connections, and other factors.

About Manitoba immigration streams

The Skilled Workers Overseas Category and Skilled Workers in Manitoba streams allow the province to nominate skilled workers who can support Manitoba鈥檚 labour market needs.

People who are applying from overseas need to have an established connection to Manitoba. This can be demonstrated through close family ties or friends in the province, previous experience in Manitoba, or an invitation under one of the MPNP鈥檚 Strategic Recruitment Initiatives.

Candidates do not need to be physically present in Manitoba at the time of the application to be eligible.

Successful candidates in the Skilled Workers in Manitoba category must meet certain criteria, such as having a full-time permanent job offer from an employer in Manitoba.

International students that graduated from an educational institution in Manitoba may receive an LAA under the International Education Stream if they have in-demand skills.
