I am a mother of 2 lovely kids and my husband is a wonderful man. We are well educated family working in good companies. We applied for Canadian immigration way back in 2001 but after 3 years the retroactive law has almost diminished our chances and right to have better living standards and opportunities. We have found recently that Manitoba state runs a Nominee referal program where they need either a confirmed job offer from within Manitoba or 5 individuals who would assure or vouch for them. I am asking for your help in making us a part of your great country and we will contribute to the development of the society. I am sure that Canadian people will come up and show the world for the values their country has stood for. Thanks for everything. Neelam from New Delhi - India
