Hi guys. Just sharing my timeline for mpnp online application. This is my 1st time to post in this forum.
Nov 19, 2011 - submitted my online application
Nov 21, 2011 - received email from mpnp, acknowledging their receipt of my application, but due to technical reasons, no file number yet
Nov 23, 2011 - mpnp emails my relative regarding my application. mpnp also asked relative to accomplish settlement plan part 2
Nov 25, 2011 - I got my file number from mpnp
My relative has not yet been contacted again by mpnp so far regarding my application.
So far I have not yet received any email from mpnp whether I have some additional docs to submit. Hopefully there are no more lacking documents.
The online process is really much faster that by mail. Mail applications usually takes about 1 1/2 to 2 months before you get acknowledgement of receipt and a file number if the application package is complete. Incomplete packages are returned to the Phils without a file number. In the online process, we get acknowledgement right away (via automated system) and we receive our file number in a few days. The website of Manitoba says family stream applications via online takes 3 months to process while 6 months if via mail. That is assuming that there will be no additional documents that they would request from us. Otherwise there would be some delays.
Good luck to all of us. Keep posting your experiences.
