Is NOC Code 2173 not under Alberta Pressure list !?!

[scrataz]

I read on this forum somewhere that 2173 is not on the pressured list of occupations for Alberta H1B program? I went to check the Alberat Immigration site - and it is there. (And it says updated Feb 19th on the website)

Here is the link that the person cited: http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/oup/abouplist.shtml

Does anyone better about this?

I found 2173 to be still under the pressured list of occupations in Alberta:

Here is the website:

And here is the form:

Ok, as for HRSDC, they seem to have changed something on January 1st.  According to http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/occunderpres.shtml they are not using occupations under pressure lists anymore.  For AINP requirements, believe the AINP website.  Contact them if you are not sure.
