Manitoba Dept: The Nominee Application Centre NAC helped people with the program application form, about 68 single-sided pages, said Fred DeVilla: "It's hard.", according to Winnipeg Free Press. Last week, he took a co-worker to the centre housed in the multi-service Immigrant Centre. His colleague had questions about his cousin in Trinidad applying to come to Manitoba through the nominee program. The program selects people based on their employability and the likelihood they'll stay in Manitoba -- that they have friends, loved ones and communities already settled here and The Immigrant Centre is no longer offering a service that helped people navigate Manitoba's Provincial Nominee Program, thanks to a shift in settlement services that's seen the federal government take over. Many Winnipeggers went to the centre for help with nominee applications, said DeVilla, a Filipino community leader. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
