Re: Manitoba - Strategic Initiative
 

Thank you so much for your help, and prompt response. I'm really hoping that I am approved for an exploratory visit.. I read earlier posts about individuals who sent loads of information with their application. I just responded to the questions asked as detailed as I could. I hope I am not frowned upon for only sending my Resume':o. :fingerscrossed:

Re: Manitoba - Strategic Initiative
 

Dear All,

I got a questionnaire to fill up on the Manitoba EV. Around 2011 I had applied for immigration and declared Ontario as my selected destination.

One of the questions requires declaration of any previous Permanent Resident visa applications and also requires the selected destination.

What should I answer to this question? I'm hoping declaring Ontario previously doesn't be the reason the EV would get rejected.

Please advice.

Re: Manitoba - Strategic Initiative
 

Im sorry but you are applying to Manitoba for an EV yet you prefer to want to live in Ontario??? They are 2 seperate Provinces. Dont be surprised that your previous application was rejected on that basis.

Re: Manitoba - Strategic Initiative
 

Your chance of rejection is clearly higher than others who haven't previously named another Province as their destination...especially if it was just recently. You will have to declare this and name all the reasons why you are now thinking of Manitoba and hope it will be enough in the eyes of the officers. As this stream has gone very popular hence lot of ppl applying and I am assuming they have already a max. number in their mind, which they will allow for this (as it is very time consuming for the officers), they will chose those with the best chance of permantly stay...and having applied to another province just recently is not really creating this picture. It will depend on other factors as well though...like, how in demand is your profession.

Dear Manitobian,

Thanks for your reply. Actually I applied for immigration in Nov 2011. Now any person looking to immigrate would always first end up on the CIC website.

There isn't a lot of advertising on the website for the Manitoba PNP. So in my case, I applied mentioning the province I am aware of.

Had I known about the Manitoba PNP program I probably would have gone ahead with this program rather than applying to the Federal stream.

Honestly I am not really stuck up with any province in particular. All I'm looking is to immigrate to any province that can offer a good quality of life.

I am yet to send over the questionnaire. Also my profession is E-Commerce payment solutions.

Any further advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Barrington,

you mention it yourself:

"All I'm looking is to immigrate to any province that can offer a good quality of life. "

I am sorry to say, but that's exactly what MB is not looking for. :thumbdown:

You will have to name very very good reasons indeed why you have changed your mind and why you want to immigrate AND why you will stay in MB.

No offense meant but:

"Had I known about the Manitoba PNP program I probably would have gone ahead with this program rather than applying to the Federal stream. "

An answer could be:
"Had you done your research about alternatives to the Federal Stream more carefully you would have found MPNP in time."

Sounds hard, but I just want to show you that this will not count as an argument or will support your position in any way, at least in my eyes.

Nevertheless, good luck.:fingerscrossed:

Thanks a lot, violets.:) I do hope and pray that not too many obstacles are ahead from now on.:fingerscrossed:

Re: Manitoba - Strategic Initiative
 

Thanks a lot and congratulations,lovely_clouds. Finally you made it!:thumbsup::D:lol:

Have a perfect start in your new life and may your most wonderful dreams come true.:fingerscrossed:

Hi, new to this thread, just spent the best part of three days reading through it all! The news regards the IELTS requirements for native English speakers is great, as I've got my EV request email drafted up but couldn't get a test date until feb 2nd and didn't want to risk the results coming in after the 30 days (assuming we get a questionnaire)... SO now i can just send the email straightaway. Anyway, just wanted to pass on my thanks to everyone contributing to this thread - its been really helpful!
