For all other categories they are using the " Up to" but for H1B they are saying " at least". It means they got sick of H1B callers. |

Most people won't have job offers in this economy in alberta. I think they are delaying the nominations and if one doesn't have PR it is very difficult to find a job in canada.

Hi I applied on May19th and got this in the email some minutes back
AINP Update: U.S. Visa Holder Category
If you are the recipient of this email, Alberta Employment and Immigration has received your application under the AINP U.S. Visa Holder Category.
What does this mean? We have your application and it is in the queue to be processed.
We have experienced a higher than expected volume of applications in the US Visa Holder Category. Because of this, priority will be given to applicants who have a valid job offer from an Alberta employer. All eligible applications will be processed, although processing times will vary significantly depending on the volume of applications received. In some cases, it may be at least 12 months before processing commences on an application.
Please do not contact the Immigrate to Alberta Information Service regarding your application status. This e-mail is confirmation that your application has been received and will be processed. You will be contacted if further information is required to complete the assessment and/or when a final decision has been made on your application.

my NOC is 2174

One more email as usual.
One more stretch in timeline as usual.
One more non-promise as usual.
One more posting in this thread as usual.
some more replies as usual.
Endless wait as usual.
I too received this email today.
=================================================================
From: Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program <immigration.info @ gov.ab.ca>
subject AINP Applicants: U.S. Visa Holder Category
AINP Update: U.S. Visa Holder Category

If you have a job offer that you did not include with your application, please send a copy of your job offer and job description to immigration.info @ gov.ab.ca with a subject line of "US Visa Holder Category Job Offer". If you received your file number from the AINP make sure you include your file number in the email.
Proof of a job offer can be your contract or letter of employment from an Alberta employer for full-time employment within the province of Alberta. The job offer must be in a field related to your current occupation in the US. The document must be on the official letterhead of the Alberta employer you will be working for.
Alberta Employer must be incorporated or registered by or under an act of the legislature of a province or the Parliament of Canada and operating as a business that has an established production capability, plant, or place of business in Alberta.
If your profession is regulated contact the appropriate Alberta regulatory body to begin the process.
If you don't have a job offer, your application will remain in the queue to be processed. In some cases it may be at least 12 months before processing commences on an application. We encourage those who do not have a job offer to start exploring job opportunities within the Province of Alberta. Refer to the links below in your job search.

Because H1B deserves more for their high skills, for their hard work, and for their innocence. |

Waiting n hoping for the day when we will see a rain of nominations !
All the best to all of us.
If you just change the letter 'r' to 'p' in the word 'rain', then we are already there. |

This AINP is going to be an never ending story, same thing would happen on the CIC process for us. We will get our PR probably by 2012. I am going to just drop this option and get back to india. all the best every one... |

The thing I don' tunderstand is why do they keep the program still open if they r getting "higher than expected volume of applications in the US Visa Holder Category".
they r saying won't touch the applications for 1 yr because they know majority of applicants would be out of status by that time
*censored word*ing rip off make rich scheme by canadian government
SHAME ON THEM
