Dear Friends,
I was reading about
MPNP Family Stream Program and compared it to SINP family stream program (pre-existing requirements) to know why SINP changed the requirements. MPNP still has the same requirements as the SINP family stream program had before 1 may, 2012. but i wounder why SINP family stream was abused and finally changed.
But only difference in MPNP Family stream and SINP family member stream is that one can support as many as his/her family member depending upon income of supporting family member, and MPNP interview Supporting family member to assess whether he/she can support the applicant. This is really logical and that is why MPNP has not been abused. MPNP is the currently fastest nomination program. (e.g : We have a very hon. member here in forum manubobby, applied for MPNP family stream later then me, in April 2011, and now he has got Passport request at CIC level, These are the efficient processing and there are a lot of examples like this).
Saskatchewan's Economy, Employment rate and open vacancies boomed last year and advertised nationwide, everyone was thinking that Saskatchewan is growing now. But in my analysis coming will be opposite to that. Their boomed economy was only result of that many of skilled persons from other provinces came to Saskatchewan so that they can use SINP family stream. This transfer of skills from other provinces to Saskatchewan gave the boom. Many people sold their million Dollar businesses, houses and leaved skilled jobs and started businesses in Saskatchewan, bought houses and made Sask their permanent home just Because they want to use SINP family stream and there was no limit on supporting family members. After that they changed the rule and now people are mad at this change. A
facebook group is created to gather all effected people in Sask, they have protested and now we have seen SINP minister changed, (i really couldn't figure it out the exact reasons, if any, why they have changed minister, because i am not in Sask). What new minister will do, no idea. (just heard in facebook group that he took notice and willing to find common grounds of family category changes)
Many applicants waiting for more then 18 months without having a single correspondence or letting them know about their application (All they can say is In process). Still SINP claims it is faster then Federal programs. At least in Federal, applicants know the stage of they application in process. Federal applicants are regularly been contacted. Now SINP even themselves don't know when applicants will be nominated.
We just can Hope, wait and see. Otherwise ground realities are bit different i guess, and i doubt that we can get nominated this year.
Best of LUCK
