Opportunity to immigrate to a small city in Manitoba

[eunbella]

An IELTS score is only required of the principal applicant, not the spouse.

If the applicant finished a bachelor degree at university of Manitoba, does he still need IELTS score?

Thanks

people, please, don't send me private messages with questions that could be very useful here on thread, for everyone to see.
i'm here everyday so I'll see your question on this thread for sure, and answer it.
the more information we share, the more we help each other, so, please, everything you wanna ask about my path so far, ask here.

and also, people, read older post, at least couple of pages back!!
I don't know how many times I already said where I live and when I've sent my application.

but here we go again

I'm from Croatia, Europe, I'm an Early Childhood Educator with 5+ years of experience.
I sent my application for Morden Driven Initiative on December 26th, got automated response to wait till January 6th because of holidays.
January 6th I got mail from Shelly asking for Skype interview. on January 9th I had interview. questions were about my work experience, why we decided on Morden, do we think we would adapt to rural life in small town, where do I see myself in 5 years etc. also questions and information about MPNP requests (IELTS, proof of funds etc.)
yesterday, on February 14th I got my invitation for EV. I had to wait for their committee to meet and decide on applications, and got my answer right away.


so, now you see, this program is real, it's still active and you all have your chance if you apply!!

everything you need to know is on their web site, everything is explained in details and you really have nothing to lose if you apply!
don't expect miracles, they have limits because it's a small town. but, if you don't try, you'll never know. maybe your occupation and your skills are what they really need in that moment!
when I applied, my occupation WAS NOT on their list!! and you see, I still got my chance, because they do need skilled daycare workers!!
and please, stop with insinuations that they look for people only from Europe! that's not true, for sure, because we had people from Philippines on this thread who also got Skype interview request. On another forum there are also people from all around the world who also got their invitations, some of them are already in process for PR! the key is your occupation, and then your sincere intention to live and work in Morden!!! where you come from is irrelevant, but you have to be aware that you'll land in one of the coldest parts of Canada.

there, I relly don't know what else to say.. I only "schratched the surface" and still have a loooong, loong journey toward my PR. but I'll share my experience with you, so feel free to ask. once again, ask here!!
good luck!! don't hesitate, try, apply!
you have nothing to lose, but you could get a lot!!

Hello, La_LuNa
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I have one quick question. How did you show your sincere intention to live and work in Morden?
All I can think of is saying that I like the small city, I prefer cold places, I like the way people in Manitoba live. etc... :'(
Is it good if I relate my intention with the city itself? (Probably )
Can you share your tips on this?

Thank you.

Eunbella

I've shown my intention with doin' my homework as best as I could
I've researched online and gathered all kind of infos I could. From schools, clinics, parks etc. I've explained why I don't like big cities and why I prefer smaller and rural towns. I guess the fact we do have some experience with rural life was a plus. I've explained what I (we) expect from life in Morden, what do we think is waiting us there.
But people, be honest with your intention to settle there. Don't think you'll use this program just to get that precious PR status and soon relocate, 'cause if your intention is not genuine, there are ways immigration officers (with whom you'll have your interview at the end of your EV) will see through your "lies". Things you need to do on EV are very specific and strictly Morden tied. So, please, take this seriously and really think it over, can you see yourself living there, really?

On the plus side, although Morden maybe is small, it has everything you need for normal and cozy life. Other cities (Winkler, Altona etc) are near, there are all kinds of stores, clinics, schools, recreation facilities..
And, if you really need that "big city experience" from time to time, hour and a half drive to Winnipeg is not that far
There are people (funny thing, people who never lived in big cities, never went to museums, galleries etc) who are telling me we'll end up in a pit, we'll die from boredom 'n stuff, and how they would never eeeeeveeer live in city as small as Morden (although they live in even smaller towns), but I don't take their comments seriously.
We know what we prefer, what we expect and we stick to that.
Morden has it all

Hi! I'm new here. I would to ask help for those who has idea and knowledge in this kind of problems. What happened is the CIO returned our application last Oct. 16, 2013. But due to poor postal service, we only received it on April 8, 2014 last Tuesday only. It took almost 6 months before we received our application. The problem is our Nomination from MPNP is expired already on January 29, 2014. And we have to apply for extension of nomination before we pass again our application to CIO or else our application will be return again and hopefully it will not happen.
I'm asking help for those who knew this kind of procedure in securing extension of nomination because I don't have any idea how to request an extension for nomination in MPNP.
Hope there's someone who knew how to request for extension of nomination in MPNP.
Thanks in advance...God bless.

[Perica]

Seniors,

Has anyone got nomination without an EV. Why I am asking is that a column in the question is asking why one may not be able to come for EV.

 

[La_LuNa]

I'm sorry, I was away...
Of course I'll share my EV experience

Hutada2002 you can bring your spouse with you, my husband's coming with me.
when it comes to the children, if we're talking about small children, you better leave them with grandparents, 'cause, first of all, it's going to be too much for them, all those airports and jet lag...

second, when you'll go on interviews, with employers, schools, day cares, banks, etc - where will you leave your children?
believe me, I know Its hard to make that decision, to leave kids behind (I have NEVER separated from my precious since I gave birth), but, hey, you're doin' it for their future!!!!! couple of days id separation i s irrelevant when compared, so....

good luck
