MPNP--Manitoba application track

[santos_1024]

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.

Thank you Ms. Bluetulip

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

hello edelveys,

i think you'll receive your manitoba letter of approval/nomination in the next few months.

i guess what we have to do while waiting is not to expect much so we won't be anxious. let's just pray that everything will fall in its place.

good luck!

cheers,

Hi, santos_1024.

Original documents, including certificates, do not have to be notarized. Only photocopies are notarized. Good luck!

Hi! I will be applying under general stream program, my mom has a friend who has two children settled in Manitoba and willing to support my application. Currently, I'm in the process of accomplishing some papers/requirements. I want to ask about the IELTS result? Do I need to photocopy it and notarize?
In filling up forms about details of family members who will not accompany,
my siblings do not have plans in renewing their passports, is it alright to put their expired passport data?

 Is it alright to submit bank certificate on a joint account or it should be my name alone stated on it? and will they accept philippines peso currency since the bank does not issue 3rd currency.

the bank will state only the latest amount balance the day before issuance, not within the last three months. the bank told us what's the beneficiary's name and address. is it in
 
Manitoba labour Immigration
7th Floor- 213 Notre Dame Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canda R3B 1N3

or

Embassy of Canada
9th Floor, Allied Bank Center
6754 Ayala Avenue
Makati City, Metro Manila

Please help, I don't know the answer...

Thank you:-)

hi karen, i think

- you just have to submit notarized photocopies of all docs to Manitoba

- peso is accepted, just convert the required $ amount to P45 or so to get the approximate funds needed

- bank balance cert shows how much money you have on a given day. what you need to do is ask for the print out of your transactions for the past 3 or so months - reflecting the debits & credits & dates - & attach this to the cert.

- address the cert to Manitoba...

- im not sure about the joint accts, but a friend who applied thru the FSW has several joint accts which she used as proof of funds, however, she hasn't received word from the embassy yet.

- also, make sure to furnish your sponsors in manitoba with your application package so they'll know how to answer in case an officer from Manitoba immigration calls them to verify your relationships.

I'm sorry i can't help you with your other concerns, but i hope i have clarified something.

good luck!

hI cLARICE,
yuor timeline  from final submission to approval is mor or less 1 year... thou if u complied updated financial and employment status soon then maybe it took 1 yr less ..
My sister in Winnipeg just submitted my papers Jan 2010. But I.m a here in Dubai with my family now. If ever approval will come, do I still go to Ca embcy Manila to apply for visa?
I think u dont need to take IELTS anymore since ur papers had been approved already. Whats ur profession anyway? since some profession will do require Ielts.
Thnks .

MARITES

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!

hello marites,

yes, we were required to update documents twice (first in 2008, then early this year). i'm glad we made it! No, i'm not taking the IELTS, unless they'll require me. I'm working at UP as an administrative staff.

i'm sorry about the embassy, i have no idea. BUT, if you're still Filipino citizens then maybe you'll be asked to use CE Manila. Or maybe it would depend on the address you've stated in your application...

good luck! hope you'll receive you LOA the soonest.

cheers,
clarice
