Wow! Goodluck to you and your wife! Is it a requirement to go for an exploratory visit, or are there exceptions?

ohanne,

Morden is a much smaller city than Winniepeg. Morden is situated about 132 kms south of Winniepeg. Morden has a population of about 8,000 and is a much smaller city compared to Winniepeg and job opportunities are low compared to Winniepeg. Morden is mainly suited for those who do not qualify under FSWP and one has no friend or relative anywhere in Canada.

Since you already have MPNP approval, better to stay in the capital Winniepeg.

good luck
Ohhh...ok, thanks!

Oge,

There is no reason why they would not accept applications. The only issue is suitability of the profile for their needs for review and invitation. No harm in applying especially if the applicant is NOT highly qualified and is NOT in a very specialized field that have no need for Morden and surrounding cities. I am sure exploratory visit is NOT mandatory. They request applicants to make a exploratory visit to see for themselves if the city atmosphere is to their liking and to see if they meet a few local employers for possible job offer.

Im a nurse from Philippines. We sent our application last week. I read from the forum that some nurses from the Philippines were also interviewed so I hope we will hear from Ms. Shelly Voth soon. Good Luck in your application. Hope we also hear from others who had their exploratory visit.
