H1B - Alberta PNP File Number / Certificate Timeline

[maruti81]

Hi Friends,

I tried to do some analysis on above table data. Here is the link for the same:
http://tinyurl.com/ABPNP-SRS-Timeline

* The File updates automatically upon any changes made to file (add, delete, update record). So keep this link handy for further updates.

# Also the current format is PDF, please advice if it should be in Excel or other format.

Hi Devesh,
I am impressed with the time and effort. Thanks.

[Mike053]

thats okay dude. Dont buy it, no need of bold caps. lol..

I DON'T BUY THAT! AINP IS NOT GOING TO WASTE THAT MUCH OF MONEY AND RESOURCES FOR 650 ODD FOLKS.


Thanks,

So the latest file number is 09-1310?

That are more than 1300 applications, vow.

latest is 1360 for AlbertaH1

looks like they are receiving at least 700 applications per month. Thats why they revised the occupation list.

I heard somewhere - not confirmed info- that, as per Federal Alberta treaty, overall Alberta can nominate 2000 applications per year. That includes 3 categories -family, alberta employed and H1B SRS. So in case of H1B SRS they may nominate 650 people per year max. Same 650 for Family. Lots of people apply for family stream, nominations are limited. This can be confirmed by the processing times of family stream which is like 2 years.

Also, we have seen that they nominate max 50-60 people per month, which again is around 650/year. People currently applying wont see a decision at least by middle of 2010 but due to modified occupation list applications might reduce and things can turn around faster.

I happen to see the website  NotCanada.com today and its really disturbing.
I do not know how much truth is there and how much is cooked story but whatever is there is really disturbing and disheartening.

I am not sure, if you got it, but my AntiVirus warned me when I went to NotCanada.com. So guys plz don't even go there, I am not sure of the content, but sure of some virus or fishy out there on that site.

I just want to point one thing abt the Indian IIT guy featured in Notcanada.com as leaving for US because he did not find a job in Canada.

He left Canada because US was his ultimate destination and Canada  was just a sojourn for him.

Its looks like a website started by immigrants haters.

Doesn't it make sense that someone got Phd or Doctoral degree from a world class tech Institute and he could get even an offer? Well I am pretty sure even from US some reddy must have offered him H1B, Training, GuestHouse, food, Wife's H1 and everything but at least he got an offer.

[rezendgi]

You know these details so very well..

Did you also stay initially at a Reddy house ?

"Build a stronger Alberta
May 22, 2007
Expanded program will help increase immigration flow

More nominations and a wider range of occupations eligible
Edmonton... An expanded Alberta Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) could help reduce the province's labour shortage, by allowing employer applications for newly graduated international students and workers in the transportation, manufacturing and tourism sectors.
The program, administered by the Alberta government in conjunction with the federal government, began as a pilot project in 2002 and processed about 100 nominees. Now a permanent program, PNP is expected to handle about 2,500 nominations this year and more in the coming years."


Now you will buy what I said earlier. My calculation was correct. AINP nominates max. 2500 per year. So, 700-800 H1B SRS per year.  i.e. around 60 nominations per months.Just fyi, they are not putting that much resources in it and YES, they are doing it for 650 odd folks. I wont expect more than 10 employees working on overall AINP deal because they just have to nominate 2500 people. It is AINP not CIC...

Infact, 2500 was a target, they just nominated 1600.

There is nothing surprising. This was basic math when Minister Jason Kenny made statement  that "We plan to bring 22000 Provincial Nominees in year 2009-10. and we will continue the immigration number to 265000 but more investor class as well rather than just economic class" There are 11 active provinces in terms of applications. Obivously there will not be 4000 applicants for NorthWestern Territories and Prince Edward Islands. So Each province will be nominating around 2000 Candidates may little over or less in a year.

[Mike053]

So, the Moral of the story is - max 60 nominations per month for H1B SRS and a hope that things will get better in future
