MPNP Application 2012

[expatinchina]

Dear,

No need to send original at any point to either MPNP or federal. For both processes you have to send notorized copies only.

Regards
BK

Oh, i see...thank you BK! 

[expatinchina]

so far we don't consider NBI, SSS or passport as national ID in the Phils...I think photocopy of passport will suffice, then if you are working overseas, a copy of your working visa should be provided during the application/submission.

 @ cardinal11:

ahhhh...and to think we flew back to Manila, queued-up for >5hours just to get NBI and have my SSS ID updated (from single to married)...passport copy is enough pala

I am confused  

There are two (2) websites with a little difference in requirements for the MPNP:

1) cic.gc.ca (Citizenship and Immigration Canada)
     - page 10/40 of IMM P7000 (Application for Permanent Residence - PNP) requires addt'l forms (i.e. IMM 5562, 5604, 5409, 5620, 5690)
     - page 33/40 requires inclusion of processing fees with the application
     - page 40/40 requires immigration photos

2) immigratemanitoba. com
     - MPNP Mail Application Kit requires lesser forms needed
     - no processing fees needed with the application
     - no immigration photos required

Please advise which one to use? TIA

 @ synergize101: It is important to note that going through the provincial route (PNP) requires you to abide by the requirements of the province. Manitoba Immigration sets it own rules which you have to adhere to in order to be nominated as a provincial nominee for permanent resident. So my advise is abide by all the rules and requirements of Manitoba Immigration.

After getting your letter of approval (LOA) or as some will call it your Nomination Certificate, you will file an application to the Federal Government of Canada which is represented by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) in Nova Scotia.

So in a nutshell, rule 1: Obey all the requirements of Manitoba and will get your LOA and rule 2: After getting your LOA, obey all the requirements of CIC as contained in the website cic.gc.ca, when you are applying for the permanent resident which is the final stage of the whole process.


Hope the explanation is explicit enough

hi dear,
thanks a lot for helping me
i hope same in future also.

Hello

For those who got their AORs and waiting for the interview, here's the post from BK from page 22 of this thread. This will help us a lot.

Dear All,

Here are some possible QUESTIONS for the sponsors/applicant when the MPNP Program officer conducts an interview:
A.   How and when did you meet each other? What is the real name of the applicant/sponsor? (nicknames too)
B.   How long did you know each other or what is your relationship with your sponsor?
C.   When was the last time you talked to your Sponsor/ Applicant or have a communication with them?
D.   When was the last time you saw your Sponsor/ Applicant?
E.   Is your sponsors related to each other? What can you say about your sponsor A? Sponsor B?
F.   What is his/her current work, current position? Current addresses?
G.   How about their family composition regarding the sponsor/applicant, civil status?
H.   What is the name of their parents (in cases were sponsors are siblings).
I.   Are you sure you will not transfer to other province once given a Letter of Approval?
J.   Are you aware of the consequences to you and your Sponsors once you leave or didn't settle at all in Manitoba?
K.   Is your sponsor willing to help you in your settlement plan to Manitoba?
L.   What are the possible things that your sponsor can offer or help you when you arrive?
M.   What do you know about Manitoba? (If you can state some facts regarding weather, environment or maybe events/holidays )
N.   How long you want to stay in Manitoba?
O.   Do you have relatives/friends in other province aside from Manitoba?
P.   Do you think you can easily find a job in Manitoba and why? What are the websites you are using to find available jobs in MB? Can you site some companies that you remember?

Just a friendly reminder, just tell the truth, no need to lie, if you don't know the answer just say so. Stay calm and don't panic, please answer in a polite manner as they seem to have a habit of going back and forth on the same questions. Goodluck!!!

Thanks to everstranger35 for the idea.

Regards
BK

SO it means that the applicant will be interviwed too?

As far as I know, according to the forums I read, SOME (not ALL) applicants are being interviewed right after the sponsor's interview especially to those who are under general stream. I would suggest to review the questions so that whether we will be interviewed or not at least we are prepared

OLANZKY:

Congratulations to your AOR Good luck to your IELTS. God bless

it seems that you are referring to part 3 of MAS...if so, the question is simple and your sponsors should only express ' HOW THEY KNEW YOU AS THEIR FRIEND...probably how long you've been acquainted or related with each other'... the second one talks about ' WHY THEY ARE SUPPORTING YOU...again as your friends it is but natural to show you their concern and eventually support your desire to live in Canada'...i sensed that the MPNP office will concentrate more on the first aspect...so you should establish your long relationship and ties with them which will also be asked/answered in other forms, one way or another...just be true !

Hello All,

I had a call with the MPNP office yesterday.

They have started processing for the February 4th week applications for 2012.

As we know, if the documents are perfect, the online applicants will get there AOR immediately. For others, they will have to manually enter the details and once the database generates aknowledgement, they will have to take it send it through the physical mail.

So people who applied directly may need to wait untill the AOR reaches through mail to there correspondance address given in the application. More over, if the communication address provided is an another country, obviously it is gng to take long time.

They have received lots of applications through mail for the month of February and that is the reason for the delay for the people who applied directly to the MPNP office.

We can wait and see..

 @ synergize101
you dont need to provide the actual photos, you may scan each one (pls make it on the center, clear, actual size, not zoom) then submit with your MPNP application documents...fees are not required during MPNP application...NBI clearance is not required either at this stage...probably later when they ask or it could be a police clearance which is according to their standard format..

I applied through the strategic initiative stream and did submit my application online. So the issue of picture, application fees, police clearance or NBI clearance as you have in your country did not apply to me.
