From the last few draws the province is focusing more and more on the Skilled Worker In Manitoba. As a result, more and more candidates are receiving the LAAs. On the other end, the international education stream not inviting several students because the province is also not allowing international students to receive the LAA randomly until they have a valid job offer. However, Manitoba is focusing on skilled workers more than international students. As a result, if you are planning to move to Canada on a PR basis and if Canada Immigration allows them to apply for Canada Study Visa then you may put Manitoba on your priority list.
