My suggestion is dat you first make a copy for your self, then include a copy amongst the documents as instructed in checklist, but if your letter of nomination was issued by MANITOBA, just like in my case, it was specifically stated that the original LOA be placed on top of the documents to be submitted at CIO.This is exactly what I did, I had my fears initially, but since this is the instruction, I should adhere strictly, AND i DID ADHERE!.
You may also scan the original LOA and keep same in your archive, (it is as good as original) , and then place the original LOA on the top of your application package .
Best of luck dearie....
