Oh no, I am very sorry for you.
You can try to make an appeal to this decision. You could ask for (free) advise/help from some association in Winnipeg which helps immigrants and could provide insight..just a thought..

Morden is the excellent city. hope you will be enjoy there. also immigration coordinator Shally is so nice and very helpful excellent lady so don't worry you must enjoy there. you don't understand how you pass 7 days in morden.
Best of luck.

Thanks - we're appealing it... On the grounds on common sense so we'll have to see how that works! We've basically just reiterated the many points which we felt were in our favour regards Winnipeg, highlighting that we spend more time, more recently in Winnipeg that we did combined in Toronto and the different purposes of these trips. Also, highlihted the verypositive EV interview versus the overwhelminigly negative telephone interview we had three months later with someone who admited she'd only just picked up our file and couldn't understand how I could take an exam in Torotnto for a financial qualification only usable in Manitoba ...

I'm no longer disappointed with the decision, I'm angry that they seem to have ignored every aspect of our application and declined us on the basis we had a four day holiday in Toronto 10 years ago and this apparently gives us greater ties to Ontario...

Sorry to hear of your refusal. I have to say, I do wonder if your posts on BE influenced their decision at all. Your early posts do show that you were planning to move to Toronto and hadn't even considered MB, and we know that immi officials do browse these forums.

Just a thought, but it may have been a factor.

Best of luck with the appeal, I do hope you succeed.

Following up on my post above. A few days ago I got an email confirmation from the Provincial Nominee Program as per the quote below

So, all good and progressing. Thanks for everyone's answers and many thanks to all the contributors of this forum - it's a goldmine.

Hey Successful4ever,

As promised, a bit of an update, I just got my MR

It took about 5 months in total, so really quite quick.

Hope you get yours soon too.

Thats possible - I just reread my earlier posts, from when we went through the phase everyone does of thinking the only two locations in Canada are Toronto and Vancouver! The appeals in, we'll see what happens. If its not to be, then its not to be...

Thank you for sharing information. You already visited morden? I think.

Thanks - appreciated!

Sorry to hear about the decision..I wish you the best of luck in your appeal.

I'm excited to hear your update. This is great news. Please try and have done asap so as to avoid further delays. A friend also got his medical request last month and now they have requested for his passport about a week ago..

Looking at your timeline, maybe my MR will come in September 2014 (5 months after AOR). Earnestly waiting....
