Hi,
Am glad to be a part of this forum.I got my LAA on the 26th of June with the batch 18 of the EOI 2016 draws and will be submitting my full application by next week hopefully by God's grace. I'd like to know all the processes/stages involved in MPNP -SW scheme and the average duration of the entire processing. I'd also want to enquire about express entry and how best to go about it.
Thanks in anticipation.
I think your best source of info is to read and digest the www.immigratemanitoba.com website. I have done the same and I just submitted my EOI just days ago. I've probably read the website 15times if not more.
As for express entry, here is a helpful link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp
If you are able to make enough points on the CRS score to be invited to apply then no problem, but if you are depending on Manitoba nomination to qualify for express entry then you would have to wait for the nomination.Mind you, if Manitoba nominates you, you have to follow their instructions for cic application. If mpnp does not ask you to apply via express entry, you shouldn't. Simply follow their instructions to apply to cic at that time.
Average duration to get MPNP nomination? I'm not sure but I think it's around 6months after which you then apply to CIC. Perhaps someone else can help answer that.
