Why Some Candidates Were Not Selected

Common reasons for exclusion included:
Language Test Issues
Candidates may have:

- Failed to provide complete language test information.
- Submitted expired English or French test results.
Invalid Recruitment Invitation Information
Some candidates reported receiving strategic recruitment invitations but failed to provide a valid invitation number in their Expression of Interest profile.
Applicants are encouraged to review their EOI information carefully to avoid future exclusions.
Manitoba Continues Processing TPP Candidates

According to Manitoba:
- Candidates with Manitoba Support Letters approved before June 30, 2025, are currently being prioritized.
- Some individuals approved after that date may not yet have received invitations.
Officials indicated that additional selections may occur in future draws.
