On April 2, 2024, the Government of Manitoba announced the conclusion of several immigration-related measures, coinciding with the end of the federal Canada Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) program on March 31, 2024. Beginning April 30, 2024, the Government of Manitoba will bring several special measures to a close. Firstly, the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) Ukraine Special Measures Expression of Interest (EOI) draws will cease, marking the end of targeted efforts towards Ukrainian nationals. However, Ukrainian individuals who meet MPNP eligibility criteria can still submit their Expression of Interest (EOI) applications and participate in regular EOI draws. Additionally, individuals who were issued Letters of Advice to Apply (LAA) before May 1, 2024, will retain eligibility for MPNP application fee refunds upon the successful submission of their complete application. Lastly, immigration information appointments at the Reception Centre will no longer be available following the specified date, signalling a conclusion to this service.
