No.
Manitoba PNP allows you to use friends to demonstrate a "strong connection" to the province, but you must still meet all the other eligibility requirements.

No other provinces care whether or not you have friends in Canada.

I believe Ontario lets you demonstrate connections with friends too?
I may be wrong, it's been over a year since I last looked into this.

You're right; Ontario allows you to use "social connections" to demonstrate your ties to the province.

They do. In fact, people mention those details in the Letter of Intent.

This only may help if you have been already selected by Ontario. But having friends in Ontario doesn't really help to be selected.

Obviously, if you don't meet Ontario's other criteria, having friends there is useless. But it is another thing you can add to your "ties to Ontario" letter.
