Re: Manitoba - Strategic Initiative
i did get a feedback on my email for exploratory visit. they mentioned they have numerous applications and they will review mine. they will send a feedback once they finish. they also noted that if i did not receive a feedback within 60 days, i should send a followup email on the email they have just sent
it feels good they actually read the email and keep you updated...
hope this helps anyone out there
question, is should i send a thank you email back? or just wait? don't want to be rude and don't want to add up to their email list for nothing important:S

Re: Manitoba - Strategic Initiative
hey lovely_clouds
the email is good news and it sounds as if you gave Markus the answers he probably wanted to hear. The one thing that they are checking (other than trying to make sure you are serious about settling long term in MB) is, that you don't fall into any other category. (having close relatives, or good connections with distant relatives or friends in MB could trigger that for example).
So while it is good to have already connections to MB, in order to fit into the strategic stream, they rather should be on the professional level or with settlement organizations/EDO's or at least not that close that you could ask them for an affidavit of support.
I don't know your specifics...but sounds as if you are the right thing and I would expect it won't take that long and you will hear about it

Re: Manitoba - Strategic Initiative
hey manitobian - thanks for the the reply.
we dont have any relative friend or known in Manitoba - neither visited Canada before.
Yes, one of the questions were do you have relatives in Manitoba n we wrote "NO".And then they asked about our employment plans - so we sent few replies which we have received so far - i hope Marcus like them n at this hour he should be writing "exploratory visit" mail to us and we will get our xmas gift ....
all fingers crossed lets hope for the best!
In b/w hows your X-mas preparations going on? where are you going these holiday season?
Summ

Hi Manitobain,
I've been interested in Manitoba for some time now but have hesitated because I have an Aunt in Quebec. Does this fact automatically disqualify me? Thanks! This thread has been very informative.

Hi Jazz
I am not an expert and I am sure others will be along who can tell you better. But I would say it will not disqualify you, but they would look very closely at why you want Manitoba and make sure that you would settle for years to come in Manitoba and not Quebec.
