A very informative post from tabs179. Thank you tabs179!

Goodluck everyone!

My uncle had to demonstrate his relationship with me, how long have we known each other, and what are his plans to help me as the applicant to immigrate successfully in Manitoba.

Here is the actual Settlement Plan 2: http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/asset_library/2012/11/mpnp-manitoba-immigration-settlement-plan-2.pdf

What I did was filled in the Settlement Plan 1, sent a copy to my uncle and he reviewed it first before he filled in Settlement Plan 2. So that, both our answers are linked. Then I asked him to send me a copy of the SP2 filled by him. So that I can check his answers (he isn't computer savvy, LoL)

As I already have a copy of his SP2, I submitted it already with my online application (together with his documents that I already have). The immigration officer didn't contact him anymore until the sponsor interview.

A post regarding the list of requirements for taking the medical test as posted by Ramcal

----------------------------------------------------------------------

- The attached Medical Report form (IMM1017E)
- Proper identification (proof of identity must include at least one government-issued document
with photograph and signature, such as a passport or national identity card)
- Eye glasses or contact lenses, if worn
- Any medical reports or test results that you may have as a result of previous or existing
medical conditions
- Four recent photographs (photos are not required if the panel physician is listed as “eMedical
enabled” on the CIC website listed above)

Note: It is important that you inform the panel physician of any previous or existing medical conditions.
Failure to do so will delay the processing of your medical examination.

Tabs179 shared his MPNP application story... may this inspire others...

--------------------------------------------------

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. It has been such a long wait and the results weren't fortunate, it can be quite frustrating.

I have been denied by MPNP 2x, I started applying in 2010 under Family Stream and got denied after a 9 month wait. I had to wait for 6 months to re-apply again (that is the rule, not sure if this is still the case). On my second attempt, I was denied again. Both application were due to lack of working hours.

I then applied through General Stream (January 2013, online), because this allows me to show a 10 year period of work experience instead of five (this rule has changed, now they only accept 5 years). And I got my LOA last July 2013.

Please don't lose hope. I strongly advise you to find out the reason and make those changes if it is within your capacity. Then, re-apply.

Ramcal posted this... just for everybody's reference:

-------------------------------------------------------------------


here are the most frequently asked questions, better practice with your answer using these questions.


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 my case 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?

Posted by Mayewam, regarding RPRF:

-------------------------------------------

11 September 2013


This refers to your application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Your file has been transferred to the Case Processing Pilot in Ottawa for further review.



We wish to remind you at this time that if your Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) is outstanding, you must pay t his fee before a permanent resident visa can be issued . The RPRF will be refunded if the application is refused, if you withdraw your application or if you choose not to use your visa.



If you delay the payment of the RPRF, your security or medical results may expire, which would delay the issuance of your visas. We therefore encourage you to pay the RPRF as soon as possible, by following these steps:



· Go to the website: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en

· Read the instructions on each page, and click “ Continue ” to proceed

· Select the “ Immigration ” link, followed by “ Right of Permanent Residence Fee ”

· You must pay this fee once for yourself as principal applicant

· You must also pay this fee for your accompanying spouse or common law partner, if you have one

· Enter the number of fee payments (1 or 2) in the box beside the fee of $490

· Click “ Submit ”

· Proceed to pay your fees by selecting “ Pay ” and then follow the instructions to pay with a credit card



Once the payment process is complete, the web site will display your official receipt in PDF format.

You must send the receipt to CPP-O. For fastest service, please attach it to an email and send it to the address CPPO-Cost-Recovery @ cic.gc.ca .



Please note : Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be valid at the time of visa issuance. If your passports have expired or will be expiring within the next 6 months, we encourage you to apply for new passports as soon as possible. Do not submit passports until CIC requests them.



Sincerely,



Citizenship & Immigration Canada

Re: SPONSOR INTERVIEW

----------------------------

My sponsor was interviewed today - Nov 5. I was surprised with the questions asked to him. And he informed that the interview lasted for less than 5 minutes only.

Below are the questions asked:

1. Relationship with the applicant.

2. His personal information: Years in Canada. His work and his wife's work. Where he works and if he already own a house - how many rooms.

3. If he already sponsored someone in MPNP before.

We did not expect these questions because they are so simple. They called him while he was in work. He requested them to call him back after an hour so that he is already on his home. He called me to inform me that the interview will be today and did some "reviews."

They officer did not advise if they require any additional documents - I hope they will not ask later on
