Manitoba PNP - What is your detination?

[Kaushal187]

Hi,

I am trying to complete my MPNP online profile. But, there is a question asking;

What is your destination in Manitoba ?

And there is a long list of cities. How do I select one and based on what ?

Please kindly advise if you have any clue.

Regards

MPNP is currently sending invitations to people having connection in Manitoba (Family, past study or work experience). If you have either of these in your case then you need to find the strong ties to choose any particular destination in Manitoba wherein you can demonstrate ability to settle in that city. E.g. If you have a family in a x city then it will be easier for you to choose that area, or if you have studied in a specified then it ill be easier for you to convince that city as your immigration destination and vise versa.

A friend can also sponsor you for immigration to MPNP but could not be strong enough since it gives you 50 points and in case of a family member 200 points can be obtained through support of that family member.

If my friend is in Manitoba, what documents are required to prove the friendship? If 50 points are enough for me to qualify for the draw is MPNP are good option for me? my CRS is 425 with IELTS CLB 9 and 6 yr skilled work experience.

To prove the friendship you have to fill out settlement plan (Part 1) after being invited to apply (If your EOI is selected you will receive a letter of advice - I will use abbreviation in further discussion as LOA). Once you submit the application alongwith Settlement Plan 1, your sponsor (Friend, in this case) will receive an e-mail to submit Settlement Plan - 2 to ensure his/her eligibility (Residing in the province for atleast 1 year and is not currently sponsoring any other applicant).

Settlement plan has detailed questions regarding your connection like how you met? since how you know each other? any supporting documents might include pictures or a bit background about family members because Immigration expect that you know each other to an extent. Similarly if you have studied together (Like same school or worked together as colleagues) then educational documents mentioning names of school to find out whether your connection as friend is genuine or not. It all depends on your claim that how he/she is your friend? Another good supporting document might be screenshot of your friendship on facebook page which mentions how long you are being friends or any other information which shows that you know your sponsorship very well.

Another important aspect is that your CRS score does not help if you are choosing Manitoba PNP rather Federal's express entry program. Although you met the minimum eligibility for Manitoba PNP (Express entry stream) but in order for being selected for LOA Manitoba has its own points calculator. Please check the link https://www.immigratemanitoba.com/immigrate-to-manitoba/general-mpnp-policies/sw-eoi-ranking/

The draw with lowest ever score for MPNP (EE stream) took place on 09th July, 2018 with 519 points. Please re-check your points on the link mentioned above since I am sure that CRS of 425 has no link with Manitoba points calculator.

Thanks a ton, the EOI ranking link above gets me only 360 to 400 points even after receiving 50 points for a friend. So its pointless to make efforts towards manitoba PNP
