H1B - Alberta PNP File Number / Certificate Timeline

[ChaloCanada]

In the end Canadian consultants made money. and alberta got a piece of it.

[AlbertaAINP]

I don't think there is anyone in this forum, who got job offer for H1B category. In the past also people tried for jobs after getting nomination, but they were not succesful. The bottom line is, nobody wants to hire you without PR card. So I do not think there are that many candidates with job offer.

I guess this program is already dead. Without PR card we will not get a job offer and without job offer AINP will not process our application. Yes, we are doomed.

Guys: I agree with ChaloCanada

I agree that Canada is good country to live but the truth is also that immigration has become a big bussiness and consultants, attorneys and CIC itself is making money by milking prospective immigrants....

There are tens of thousands of people who are waiting for refund of their application fee from CIC who applied for FSW and CIC changed rules after they applied. Now, that was not immigrants fault but CIC rejected the applications of those people applied before rules and said people will get refund. They have not refunded any money which might be 10's of millions of dollars even after 1.5 years...CIC is just collecting intrest on that money to date.

Same is case with immigration attorneys who take money for filling a few forms.

You guys have completed 4months(More than 122 days) after receiving file numbers as per the online AINP timeline tracker.

Please let us know your updates if you have contacted Alberta Immigration information service.

The last time I had called AINP was sometime end of April and they told me that the applicants who received the file numbers on March 19th should see a decission by July end/early August. And if I do not hear anything by August first two weeks then to call back. I am thinking of waiting till then.

My two cents out here. If the applications for FSW was done through a consulting firm, it is a totally differnt case. The consulting firms are hesitating from withdrawing the application as they will lose their business/case with the application.

This is based on experience of few people who first applied for FSW through consultants and now applied for AINP on their own. The consultants have given them a tough time and resistance to withdraw the application as all they care is getting their commission.

Best is to contact CIC directly for the withdrawal and not wait on the consultant.

Guys,
Just spoke to AINP Office. Told them that its been over 4 months and am a old process candidate, didn't receive nomination or other communication. She said it is taking time and I should wait for atleast another 2 months before calling them.

She can't check my file or anyone else's and said they've got thousands of applications and are currently processing them. She also confirmed that the old rule (apps received before 19th feb) will apply so no need to worry if I've to leave the US.

So basically no clear cut answer on when will we get it...
Heading back to my waiting chair

You applied in Jan and received file number in March, so you are Jan applicant, aren't you?

So this seems to be true that they are taking more than 4 months to send nominations after file no.Even i got almost the same response  as differentquestion when i called ainp.There seems to be no option but to waiiiiit....

So good luck guys!

[CometoAlberta]

because there will be always someone talking about "canada is not good, canada is ~~~", i hate such words.

if you are thinking about immigrating to Canada, please don't say any bad words on it. since others may like this country. Your home country also have lots of questions and that's why you don't plan to go back.

i just somehow don't like people who are immigrating to one place but still keep on saying that it's not good to him. Thus please don't be there. It's a little disgust. don't you think? especially for those people who feel good.

I second this post. If you are on this forum and intend to immigrate to Canada, you should not be discouraging others out here. Use your own judgement and make a decission if you want to make it to Canada or not. Many applicants out here want to live in the US and are applying for AINP as a backup as they dont wish to go back to their own country. Nothing wrong in it, but it takes up processing time of other folks. While you are doing this the least you could do is not talk anything discouraging about Canada. For the fact is that everyone is expecting a better life in Canada than in their home country. You will find forums and youtube videos of negativity around anything that you can think of, but this place is not to discuss that.

[Albertadude]

I think the best thing is to wait!!!!!. Hopefully they start issuing nominations soon.
