Sending the application for the Provincial Nominee Program

September 2008 - We were back in Holland with the invitation to apply for the provincial program. The Immigration Officer had requested if we could send all of the necessary forms to his office before September 15th. It was already a busy period (school and work started again), but we managed to succeed.

Here an overview of all the required information and documentation:

• Document checklist
• Manitoba PNP Application Form
• MPNP Letter of Invitation to Apply
• Application for Permanent Residency in Canada Form
• Backgrounder - Declaration Form
• Additional Family Information Form
• Economic Classes Form
• Marriage Information
• Children's Information
• Passport - Travel Documents
• Education Information
• Evidence of Language Ability in English and-or French
• Employment Information
• Regional Immigration Form
• Settlement Funds Form

Quite a list, eh? And all in English, preferably translated by an official translation office.

In this period we also ordered passports for the boys, which they will need later on. When everything was done, we had a postal package of 1700 gram to send to Manitoba per express for a price of 63 Euro/97 Cad. We sent it on September 9th, so we made the deadline and via tracking & tracing on the internet we saw the package arrived at its destination two days later.
