Here is the break-up of the invites issued:

• Skilled Workers Overseas: 42
• Skilled Workers in Manitoba: 122
• International Education Stream: 22

24 invites were issued to candidates with a valid ID in the Express Entry Pool. They can now apply for a provincial nomination through MPNP. A provincial nomination adds 600 points to their CRS score in the Express Entry Pool which guarantees an ITA for Canada PR in the subsequent draws.
