MPNP--Manitoba application track

[sammy09]

 @  clarice

what happen during 2009? I thought nomination would only take 1 year but yours 
PNP's i think dont need IELTS since I dont have one submit your TOR sealed with university envelope and employment certificate to speed up

hello all,

i also would like to share my application track, though its not complete yet.

• 2007 May – prepared all documents for our MPNP application, but due to some reasons our sponsor wasn't able to submit them

• 2008 June – our sponsor submitted our 2007 application to Manitoba

• 2008 Sept – we received a letter from Manitoba requesting to submit updated employment record & financial statements

• 2008 Oct 02 – submitted updated employment record & financial statements

• 2010 early Jan – our sponsor in Winnipeg received a call from the Manitoba Immigration Division requesting us to submit another updated & additional financial statements (we have raised CND 7,000 but we were required to raise $12,000)

• 2010 Jan 13 – bank certificates & other financial documents were faxed to Manitoba Immigration Division

• 2010 Feb 4 – received Letter of Approval from Manitoba

2010 Feb 2nd week - we hope to be able to submit the required documents to the Canadian Embassy in Manila

Based on the checklist (Manila Visa Office Special Instructions) we only need to submit the ff, under column "P" for provincial nominees (along with the forms):
   birth certificate
   marriage cert
   cert of no previous marriage
   photocopies of our passports
   photocopy of passport of our sponsor/s
   police clearance (NBI)
   photos
   application/processing fee of approximately 46,000 PhP or CND 1,100 (for me & my husband)

After reading this thread, however, i wonder whether its wise to submit other documents (as to our education and employment) upon filing this month (which i'm quite sure they'll request later on) to speed up the process... I also have not taken the IELTS yet...

let me know what you think.

thanks,
clarice

PS. congratulations & good luck to all who have already received their visas!

Hi clarice,

Congratulations on getting your approval from Manitoba and thanks for sharing your timeline.

Good Luck.

hello sammy,

yeah, we never heard anything from canada last year, so i thought maybe there was something wrong with our papers - most likely with the settlement funds. we've raised $7K only instead of the required $12K, & i guess that proved to be true because that's what they requested from us to comply with last month (Jan).

the best thing really is to send the documents completely - that's why i still can't decide whether to send the TORs & employment certificates NOW even if they're not listed in the checklist. i'm planning to submit the documents this week to the Canadian Embassy in Manila. A friend who applied for a US visa said that its stated in their checklist "NOT TO SUBMIT documents that are not requested or in the list" or something to that effect, so i'm quite confused right now - they might take it against me for NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. LOL.

of course i want to speed up the process but don't you guys think its better to be safe than sorry?

cheers,
clarice

Hello! We have waited for 1 year and still waiting 
 
February 2009 - submit requirements to Manitoba......

[vvlc]

hi there! i am planning to pass my application (all forms and docs) to ceb next week. but before i do that, there's a few things I would like to know... first, what is the ideal amount for unencumbered transferable and available funds- as seen on schedule 4 (economic classes- provincial nominees) form? lets say i'm bringing my wife and our 3 year old daughter with me. aside from this, i would like to know if i need to secure an original copy of baptismal certificate. can somebody tell me if notarized photocopy is fine?

thanks in advance!

hello vvlc,

we have the same concern: how much to declare in Schedule 4, and i believe the safest or the most ideal is the amount wherein you'll be able to show proof in case you'll be asked to.

as for the baptismal certificate of your little girl, i thought the checklist states "birth OR baptismal OR anything that will show relationship to you." if you have the SECPA birth cert, would you still need the baptismal cert? if you do, then the checklist also states that you have to send notarized photocopies. anyway, you'll be asked to submit/show proof if they're not convinced with the documents you submitted.

good luck!

i'm only waiting for the NBI clearance so i'll be able to file my application.

cheers,
clarice

hello mam clarice,

we received our approval last december 2009 and sent the required docs to the canadian embassy manila last january 2010. We received AOR by February together with the medical exam forms.

We just sent the docs under the marked "P" for provincial nominees. I hope this helps.

God Bless and good luck to your application.

[clarice_ldr]

thanks rade!

it surely helped. i've decided to submit only what is asked under "P" in the checklist. we're just waiting for our CENOMAR, SECPA & NBI (these are the only docs we're required now) to be released early next week, then i'll be able to submit the papers and wait.

good luck on your application!

cheers,
clarice

Please help...anyone...

hello santos_1024,

I think you may apply under the general stream (with close/distant relatives or friends in Manitoba).

Your cousin will just have to comply with the Manitoba Affidavit of Support form (MAS) which should be included in your forms/downloadable from manitoba's website. There's a page/space provided in the form wherein your cousin just have to describe his relationship with you & that he is willing to help you get settled in Manitoba; have this form notarized in Canada & include this in your application package (I think you need 2 MAS, meaning 2 relatives living in Manitoba) for a much better chance.

hope these helped.

cheers,

My husband's cousin are willing to sponsor us in manitoba. I would like to ask what are the documents needed to prove that they are related? Because we are having problem in getting birth certificates of my husband's aunt-deceased already (mother of his cousin) because she was born before WWII, that's why they are having problem with the civil registry. please someone who can share same experience. some are saying just present family tree... thanks

[bluetulip]

hi, santos_1024.

Maybe, what you can do is to have "late registration" for your mother and your aunt. You can do this by taking your Mom and/or your aunt to the Office of the Civil Registrar of the town where they were born. The Registrar will be looking for two witnesses older than your mom/aunt to prove that they were really born in that place. That's what we did for my husband's mom and his aunt. We applied under the Family Support stream. We're leaving for Winnipeg in March.

After they've been registered, you may expedite the processing of the birth certificates by having them sent to NSO Main Office. You may ask your Registrar how to do it.

Good luck to you. I hope this helps.
