hello guys,

i am new here and i think this site is very helpful.

I received an email from MPNP EV and they sent me the questionnaire to be considered for an EV. Well, based on their requirement, I maybe eligible. I am within the age range, I got 8.0 on IELTS, I have 3 years experience, and I have a Bachelor's degree in Nursing.

Now the "problem" is, I applied to Quebec before. Not that I really want to settle there because I don't speak any French, but just because my immigration agent told me it's easier to apply there. But when I was interviewed, they asked me to provide a French exam results. So I didn't pass that and opted to go here in Australia instead. But now I found this EV, I want to give it a try.

Would my previous application to Quebec adversely affect my Manitoba application? Or can I offset this my explaining why I would love to settle in Manitoba? Should I still declare my Quebec application (that was 2 years ago)?

Thank you.

Well it does say that

however below it still says and/or?

I just completed the questionnaire and sent my resume and mentioned that I have a score of 12 on the self-assessment and I am hoping for the best.

I dont see the need for it if you are from an English speaking country =_=

I am so nervous and I know that this is just the start of my nerves haha.

, but in my eyes you just dropped far down on the list of people I would recommend (if I had a say) if you are thinking already now that line.

Conmar that is a powerful brand you have created - D.T.C. Never thought of that. We could just float a company in Winnipeg when we arrive:D

But need to think :sneaky: of what type of business we will venture into. Any idea Travel and Conmar?:confused:

If you have an employer who is willing to apply for LMO, I would suggest that route. Str. Stream is slower, as you need to visit first (and spend the extra money) and it will take at least 6 months (via old timelines) to be at that stage to get a WP ok'd w/o LMO.. and that is only if everything goes right from the start and can jump anytime on the plan for an EV

Hi Manitoba
Thank you for your reply. We got a LMO 5 years ago but never ended up going, do you think this may affect us on a new application? The same company have kept the job offer open for him which is lucky, we have a loan at the moment in the uk and are trying to pay this off quickly to then be able to apply and move again. :fingerscrossed: we will be in a position to apply soon :D

I`m not Manitobain, but perhaps I can give you a hint.
First figure out where you want to live, in a city or in a rural community?
Next, search the net - yes, the whole world is only few clicks away -for detailed information about the communities or cities you are interested in.
You can search on youtube for videos, or take some virtual tours on googlemaps.com, to name but a few options.
Many communities have e.g. economic development officers, get into touch with them.

And now it is up to you. Good luck.
By the way, this is the easy part of the process.
