Got an acknowledgement immediately with a note that I will get a file number within 48 hours (Tuesday hopefully if there are no technical issues and pray there wouldn't by God's grace).

Was that your experience lovely_clouds, New_Start, etc?

@NostalgiaLava: How far with your application? Hope you are on track on submitting it online. All the best.

@lovely_clouds: nice to have you back and hope your nomination comes out quickly since it is expected between 2-3 months and you have already marked 2 months waiting.

@travel: all what lovely_clouds mentioned is just fine to go with your application. On the airline booking you need to work with your travel agent. What I did was to book for a flight with an option to change it if need be and my travel agent got something like that for me. Talk to a travel agent they know what to work out something for you.

Regards.

Hey new_start ... So you also got your file number. Hopefully the gentle reminder to immigration officials worked. Now, let's just wait on PNP now.


@nostalgiaLava, did you submit your online PNP already??

Hey guys
I have started my exploratory visit. I arrived in Winnipeg yesterday(Sunday). I am staying at a friend's place near downtown. Weather is superb. Better than Europe. Its quite sunny here. But I heard that in Dec/Jan It was like -40 C. I roamed around downtown area, assembly building, Osborne village area, West end etc. Today I went to Manitoba START office, Tourism office, immigrant center. I also met some new immigrants who have arrived here with PR status. Tomorrow I will visit to some offices where I will look for employment opportunities. Manitobians are very friendly and nice people.

Thats all for now.

Hi Milano97, may you find good employment opportunities there. Enjoy and have a fruitful vacation!

Hi Gustekp, I think sending the MPNP-EV an individual email per attachment is not the best option you want to do. Because they must be receiving tons of applications daily from different parts of the world and if you send your application one by one, your email might be scattering all over their inbox making all your emails difficult to find. Try to send just one email containing the letter of intent together with all the information they want to know about you and your spouse.

What I did here was I put the biodata (me and spouse) and scanned documents in one MS Word file. Then I converted to Adobe PDF file. (To do this, from MS Word, go to File > Print > Printer Option (Choose Adobe PDF) > Press Okay). Limit your total file size up to 2megabytes only so to avoid sending failure.

Have a good and godly day everyone!

@Dammy, Mtbiker, New_Start- Today I went again to Immigrant center to learn about settlement process, MPNP application process etc. I also went to some company offices through some references provided by friends. Potential employers are willing to give time to you. They were also telling about need of skilled immigrants for growth of Manitoba. Having said that, to land up a good job, Canadian qualification / experience is highly desirable. Some employers may also say that they are looking for people with work permits/PR. So far so good. Overall I have liked Winnipeg & Manitobians very much.
