Sent email to MPNP about the processing status :
Hi,
I'm writing this email to inquire about the status of my MPNP FILE# *****.
I have applied in july'14 and my sponsor furnished the supporting SP2 document in the same month.In MPNP's online portal, status of my application is "Assessment Pending".
I'm aware that MPNP does not accept file status inquiries and cannot guarantee processing times but it's 18 months now since i applied, which is much longer that the general information available in the public forums about the processing time of 9-12 months.
If possible could you please let me know by when can i expect any change in file status or if any document required holding further processing of file.
Many Thanks,

And here is the reply:
Greetings,
Please be advised that your application is still in process. Once a decision has been made, you will receive notification in writing of the outcome.
Manitoba cannot guarantee processing times for any application because each application is assessed on its own merits and each requires follow-up with applicants and supporters to ensure program integrity.
As of now, there are no requests for additional documents from you.
The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program does not accept inquiries about the status of applications - neither by email, post, telephone nor in person. Registered users of MPNP Online can log in to the program's web application to check the status of applications.
You can log on to: web6.gov.mb.ca/sso/Account/LogOn using the same Username and Password used to submit the application.
For information on the meaning of the status, please visit: immigratemanitoba.com/2014/04/17/mpnp-application-status-check/
The MPNP is based on a bilateral agreement with the Government of Canada which requires the province to thoroughly and consistently pre-screen all applicants to ensure that each nominee has a clearly demonstrated potential to become a successful economic immigrant to Manitoba.
This is why the MPNP processes the strongest applicants first by selecting those with confirmed employment, job-ready English, training and work experience indicating potential for employability and/or strong family connections.
Applicants who use the online application tool receive faster processing than people applying via regular mail (post).
Please refrain from asking for status updates as it takes time away from assessing the application.
Sincerely,
