Among the total 426 candidates invited, 84 candidates had applied through the federal Express Entry’s PNP program and would receive 600 additional points in their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. 

The International Education Stream is only for those international students who have completed their studies from Manitoba and proved that they have the skills required.
