To everyone, I understand that Morden Initiative is for people who don't have any connections in Canada who can support them in any way. What if I have a friend in Morden, but I don't have any other connections outside Morden. In fact, my friend is the one who introduced the Morden idea to me. Will that disqualify me for the Morden Initiative? The reason that I thought about this is that my friend in Morden, which is in Manitoba still has the option to support me directly to MPNP, without the need of Morden support. Thank you for any answers!

I don't know if it will disqualify you - I would imagine not. They want people who will stay in Morden, so if you have a friend in Morden, it is even more likely that you will stay there as you have an extra link to their community. And you are correct, you could just do the MPNP program directly and have your friend support you.

My husband is from near Morden and his family still lives out there. If anyone has any general questions about the town, or settling in the town, etc, feel free to send me a message.

I don't know the nomination process because I didn't come through that one (came through a federal program), so I can't answer questions about the Morden immigration program, but I will be glad to answer questions about the town, the region, and general settlement topics.

I don't have an answer to your question but enjoy your exploratory visit! If you enjoy folk music or outdoor events, you will be there right when they have the Cripple Creek festival: https://www.facebook.com/CrippleCreekMusicFestivalMB/ .

I replied to you with this information on another thread, but I decided to share it on this thread too in case it is useful to anyone:

For starters, you should check out their business directory to see what kind of businesses they have, see if you can schedule a few interviews to learn about what they do and the (long-term) possibility of working with them. http://business.mordenchamber.com/list

Also, visit Regional Connections, http://regionalconnections.ca/about-us/our-staff/morden/ which is a not-for-profit settlement and newcomer-serving agency with an office in Morden and one in Winkler, so that you find out what kind of resources they have for you to be able to settle, including employment help. If you or your spouse need to improve your English, ask them about possible courses to take.

They have a few nice restaurants in Morden, I recommend Mr. Mike's, Boston Pizza (it's a chain but it's very Canadian), and for a casual breakfast or lunch, go to Human Bean. To check out the local folk, go to Rocks, it's not anything spectacular but everyone from the region eats there. My father-in-law recommends a steak house there, but I don't remember the name.
If you need to buy groceries, the local Red River Co-op is an option, Shoppers and PharmaSave are the local drugstores in case you need anything, and you can also find some groceries at Giant Tiger.

I strongly recommend renting a car, because it is impossible to get there from Winnipeg by transit. I think there is a bus but even to move around Morden, you will need a car. I suggest driving around outside of Morden so that you can see the farms, the fields of wheat, canola, flax, sunflowers and corn, and the cattle. Visit nearby Winkler for a more affordable grocery store (Real Canadian Superstore), most people in Morden drive there to buy groceries. Plus, on your way to Winkler you will see the hospital that serves both towns: Boundary Trails Health Centre. Also, in Winkler there is a schnitzel restaurant ran by a local Mennonite family, it is really, really good.

If you also want touristy ideas (museums, festivals, etc) send me a message!
