Hello All,
My friend applied for Mpnp and chose Brandon as city she wishes to reside. Her sponsor lives in Winnipeg and during the application for EOI, they never asked if she has a relative in Brandon - rather they asked if she has a relative in Manitoba which she clicked ''yes''.
Gurus in the house - please advise how best she should respond to this letter to avoid rejection of her application. This is the decision stage.
This letter is in reference to your application for nomination by the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) received on November 24, 2018.
As stated in the MPNP Policy and Procedures http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/MPNP-Policy-Guidelines-public.pdf, points for Regional Immigration can only be considered in cases where the applicant has:
clearly demonstrated that they have an established connection to their destination outside of Winnipeg through existing family or social ties; and
clearly and comprehensively outlined their plans for establishing their work and social life in the respective region of Manitoba
We note the following concerns:
In your Expression of Interest (EOI) submitted September 16, 2018, you declared that your destination in Manitoba is Brandon
Your declared family connection to Manitoba, resides in Winnipeg
You have not clearly demonstrated that you have an established connection to Brandon
Based on the above concerns, it has been assessed that you are not eligible to receive the 50 Expression of Interest ranking points for Regional Immigration. A recalculation of your EOI ranking points based on the above inconsistencies show that you would have scored 569.
Your application was drawn on September 28, 2018 and the lowest ranking score for the stream which you were selected in was 592. Based on the recalculation of your EOI ranking points, you would not have been drawn on September 28, 2018 and the Letter of Advice to Apply would not have been sent.
You have until August 5, 2019 to respond to our concerns.
