My son is studying in Alberta and my brother who is living in Alberta for 2 years. My cousin who is in Winnipeg, willing to sponsor me. I applied for MPNP in 2011 but received refusal stating that I don't have strong ties to Manitoba. Is it recommendable to apply again. I am willing to stay in Manitoba. How can I prove? Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Having a stronger connection to other province can solely be a ground for refusal. Sad but it's their rule.
But, there are also other applicants who successfully got their approvals even if they have close relatives to other province. If you are really willing and eager to re-apply then you may do so. Maybe by re applying they may consider your application and do further assessment to make sure of your genuine intention to stay in Manitoba. This can be by interviewing you as the applicant as well as the sponsor.
