MORDEN IMMIGRATION PROGRAM
Morden’s Community Driven Immigration Initiative is a support program for those who will apply for permanent residence in Morden through the Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program. If an applicant is not able to qualify on their own to apply to the MPNP (For example: With the support letter of a friend or family member), they can apply to our initiative for a support letter. We choose approximately 50 families per year to be supported by our program. This is approximately 5% of all applications received.
Please review the Application Process.
