Manitoba PNP Streams
- International Education Stream – This stream is designed for international graduates who have completed their education in Manitoba.

- Score and Eligibility: If your score is higher than the lowest-ranked candidate but you did not receive an invitation, it could be due to incomplete or outdated information in your Expression of Interest (EOI). Ensure that all details, including language test results and invitation numbers, are accurate and current.
