AINP US VISA Category Nominated Civil Engineers (NOC 2131)

[anthcott@yahoo.com]

Hello,

         I want some guidance on requirements for civil engineers applying for immigration under the AINP US Visa Category.

I have applied for immigration with NOC 2131 (Civil Engineer) but I am not a licensed Professional Engineer (PE). I am not sure if all the civil engineers who got nominated in this forum are all licensed PE's. Is it necessary/assumed that Civil Engineers who are applying under the US Visa Category be licensed PE's.

The reason I am asking this questions is because under the "AINP- Engineering Occupation category" in the AINP website it is written that "If the Candidate has engineering credentials and is working in an occupation under NOC 2131, 2132, 2133, 2134, 2141, 2143, 2144, or 2145, the Candidate must provide a “Letter of No Objection” from the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists, and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA) or demonstrate that they are registered with APEGGA as a foreign licensee".

Is a "Letter of No Objection" required for US VISA category too.

I would be grateful if nominated Civil Engineers under the AINP-US Visa Category share there experience.

Thank you.

ChaloCanada.... Thank you for your response. Good to know that even though your are PE you did not submit your License details and got nominated.

Hi ChaloCanada,

My dates and your's match very well, only difference is that my case is in New Delhi and your's in the US. Let me know if you had any luck in the last few days.

Good to know that some civil engineers are also moving to Canada.
