No Relatives in Canada? The Morden Initiative Program is For You!

Finding ways to move to Canada? If you can’t find a program that suits your case, there is another program that you might be interested in. You don’t even have to go through your ancestry registry to find any relative in Canada because you really don’t need to have one to qualify for the program. You read that right!

Not known to many, there is a program in Canada that is almost the exact opposite of all the other programs. Unlike other programs, this is not highly publicized. One probable reason for this could be that they only need a few candidates each year. This program is unique because one of the requirements is you should NOT have families, friends or any personal connections in Canada. Read on to know more.

Morden is a city located in the southern part of Manitoba, near the US border. Morden’s Community Driven Immigration Initiative is a support program for the applicants of Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program but are not able to qualify on their own because they cannot provide a support letter from a friend or family member. Through this initiative, these applicants can apply for a support letter. They choose approximately 50 families per year to be supported by our program which is about 5% of applications received.
