Hello everyone! Thank you for sharing your experiences...

I am planning to send my application this month, do I need to complete the IELTS before I send the application?

A friend will sponsor me for MPNP, I have a previous application yr 2006 which was returned to us due backlogs and the new rules of Federal Skilled worker so we were asked to re-apply again but this time I will apply for MPNP do you think that would affect my application as provincial nominee?

Thanks!

Yep, you have to take the ielts test and upload it if you will apply online. As long as you can prove and convince them on your SP1 and SP2, i don't see any worries. Have you taken the self assesment? If you apply on line you have to uplad it also.

Hope was able to be of help :D

I didnt know that I have to upload the self assessment. I will answer it again for my application.
So i need to pass the IELTS first, was it difficult? Do I need to review for that? Do they still need 7 like the Federal skilled worker requirements?

I was just worried that they will reject if they knew I have relatives in other province of Canada, coz I saw in the self assessment that they are asking if you have strong connection or relative in manitoba.

Thanks for your answer.
 
Do I have to apply for my kids passport as early as now? I am still filling up my online application. thanks

If you have a strong relationship in other province you have to make a convincing sttlement plan that you are really going to stay at manitobaor else it may cause rejection since you will be under general stream.

Re IELTS if am not mistaken their required lowest band score is 4 you can check at their website to be sure. If you have a budget getting a review class will also but you check on line review so you will have an idea.

Kudos to you guys for the information in this forum.
I have a distant friend in winnipeg, we are not too close thats what I mean, I had an intention of requesting for an exploratory visit but unfortunately, the exploratory visit programme was put on hold before my IELTS result came out so I could not apply. Does anyone here know when the programme is likely to re-open or any other channel to immigrating to Manitoba without a job offer even without close friend or relative within the province.
Thanks

That's what I am worried about. My 2 sisters is in another province. Then a friend of mine is sponsoring me in Manitoba. Btw, where can I find the doc for settlement plan? I answered the online application but I did not find there the settlement plan. Thanks!

After you submit your application there will be an instruction to e mail SP2 to your friend e mail address.

Good luck!

If a friend will endorse your settlement plan you will fall under gereral stream. Processing time for general stream a few months longer than family stream. Re PR it will all depends on the the of MR result and the VO that will issue your visa.

Is you GF a citizen already? Really not sure how to answer your question but i think it will have an impact considering she will be the one to endorse your settlement plan. Let's just hope that ur pr is already release and already landed before she decide to transfer.

Check other forum...may be there's somebody out there who can answer ur question and give you advice.

You are correct but take in consideration the point calculation
they calculate ilets score by other system called CLB " Canadian Language Benchmark"

IF you want to convert ilets to CLB from this link
