Updated skilled occupation list for the program: NOC 42202 Early Childhood Educators and Assistants (those with two years of recent work experience teaching or assisting with children less than 5 years old) NOC 63200 Cooks Trades Occupations: 72401 Heavy Duty Mechanics (Vehicle), 72106...

It is not the ideal way to go about getting the 50 points, there is a good chance you will have an issue. The rules state: "The applicant has clearly demonstrated that they have an established connection to their destination outside of Winnipeg through existing family or social ties." It...

I moved to Morden last year and can attest to it being a great place to live. You should ignore Morden's immigration page as it is a separate program completely. I agree with Naturgrl, the rules clearly state that to be able to claim those 50 points you need family or social connections in the...

Sorry but you can't check on your application. If I remember correctly the program coordinator will wait for enough applications to come in and will shortlist the best. I think she will then give an interview via Skype to the shortlisted applicants. The applications then get run past a...

I really wouldn't do that, it could just put you to the back of the queue. Have you contacted IRCTC by webform and explained how long you have waited and why the visit is needed? If you have what was the reply?

It's no problem, I just wish I could be of more help. I know how frustrating the wait can be.

I'm sorry but I have no information on this. I know families have arrived to settle but I haven't heard anything about exploratory visits. You would be best reaching out to the program coordinator. I am surprised that you are still waiting.

Hi JohnLe, a lot of the companies around here employ welders and there is still a big need for them. I think it would still be very easy to get a job as a welder around here. You can still apply to the program if your job is not on the target occupation list and in my opinion because you are a...

Hi, just thought I would post here about a rural immigration pilot that has just started up in my local area. 'Winkler, Manitoba.' This is an upcoming area with a lot of manufacturing and trade jobs. Check out the website below: https://wsedc.ca/immigration/ WSEDC Pilot Manitoba Immigration...

When I applied through the MPNP SWO program we received an invitation under a Strategic Initiative, it added an extra 500 points to our score. This could also be what you are missing.

I don't believe there will be any alternative to the visit visa, but you could always contact Shelly for advice and to let her know your current situation.

I don't believe so currently. I seem to remember that in the past if you spoke french it would be counted the same as being on the skilled occupation list. They will accept language tests in French instead of English I think. If you have proficiency in French I'm sure it would help with your...

I guess so. I'm not sure express entry funds matter at this stage, you have to prove that later.

Proof of funds is required, I believe you have to show the amount of funds required by the MPNP: 'All applicants should have CAD $10,000 plus CAD $2,000 for spouse and each accompanying dependant.'

I would think there is reasonable demand for those with accounts and payroll experience. I have seen a number of jobs advertised for this. I think theres a section on how you think Morden meets your needs. I believe this is quite important, they want to know that the area is what you are looking...
