I have a client who filed under Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP) - General Stream - last August 2007. The MPNP processing period was longer than what we have expected, but just the same, they finalilly received their MPNP Letter of Approval few days ago.

It took them almost two years to get the MPNP Letter of Approval. The next step is submission of updated application forms and supporting documents. Hopefully it will only take 3 months to get their approval from Canadian Visa Office in Manila. After that, they can then start to live and work in Canada!
