Yes, I know I can apply for EE & PNP at the same time but if I am not wrong you do have to mention your preferred province in EE application as well.Do you know that you can submit applications for the EE and go with a PNP stream at the same time?
If one is accepted you can withdraw the other. If one is rejected you still have a back up!
But I highly recommend to do more research on that. I know a lot do that. I am not eligible for it. But maybe there is more to know about 2 applications at a time!
Just don't forget that a province wants you to make a commitment to the province. The fact that you want to spend your future in Canada is not enough for them. Unless you are lucky they might want to see a good reason why you are choosing that province. PNP programs only serve the purpose of supporting a Province's economy. THey do not want you to move away once you are PR. Of course you can.... just saying in case you get an interview!
And in Manitoba there is or was? the option to a exploratory visit. You might be able to set up a company or a friend or.... who serves as Provincial bond?
Good Luck anyway!!
And ideally it should be same province for which you are applying PNP for. So only reason I am holding myself for submitting EE profile is to make sure that Manitoba is the correct province considering my present situation.
I understand that province want to be sure that applicant has long term plans or permanent plans to stay in Manitoba and will not move to another province.
Yes there is option of exploratory visit in Manitoba province. My wife's friend moved to Manitoba last year in November. Her husband I understand is into real estate business. Can that make any difference to my application if I mention them as close friend under adaptability condition?
