@tamik Looks like we are tracking each other back to back. Your AOR is Dec 13th and mine is Dec 14th and we are both Calgary. I just got my LPP marked completed today, Feb 28th and yours was Feb 26th. Seems pretty consistent between ours.

I just got a call back from Alberta Advantage Immigration Office (AAIP) and after a few rounds of trying to get a clear “Yes” or “No” response to a simple question, I’m advised that “as of now, if he can obtain a trade certificate recognized by AIT and subsequently AAIP, then no ECA is required...

@scylla Yeah, CRS 301. Doesn't seem like he would make it with this score via the Federal Skilled Trades Program Express Entry even when high school completion is not required and assuming he successfully obtains an Alberta Trade Certificate and a job offer.

So, this is what I have found so far: Source: Federal Skilled Trades Program (Express Entry) - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/skilled-trades.html There are a number of requirements that need to be met such as...

Thanks will do a little more read up on this.

Not hard, just have not and will obviously do. Thanks for showing me a cool medium of expressing sarcasm. :)

"Employer needs to be eligible for AOS..." ? As in, by way of the occupation (or eligible NOC) my cousin will work as with the employer?

Yes, very good question. I was reading this last paragraph again and it does sound like "even though an ECA is not required if you have obtained a trade certificate recognized by the AIT, we assume you have already completed high school and as such, we might randomly request some applicants to...

No, I have not. I did make a call to the AIT earlier and the lady on the phone said he can take the Red Seal exam if he is ready and it is a 4 hour exam that is 100% theory based. She did not mention of "apprenticeship and on the job training" in Canada maybe because I described my cousin's...

I found out a potential pathway by way of his work experience as a cook. In case there might be others who would find this thread useful, I found: 1. Alberta's AOS offers pathways to residency by way of the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program, which assesses the work experience of applicants...

Scratching my head to see if there's any viable pathways for a first cousin, who has worked as a cook outside of Canada for many years but no formal culinary education/certification nor has he completed high school, to immigrate to Canada (specifically Alberta). Doesn't seem like it's possible.

Is there any WhatsApp group chat for November 2023 citizenship applicants?

5 months from submitting his citizenship application to receiving his citizenship certificate?

Thanks @canuck78 @Naturgrl @canuck78 Dependents would refer to immediate family, such as spouse, children, parents and not first cousins?

So far there seems to be no pathways for the individual without a high school. I wonder if that means all recent immigrants have at least a high school completion.

Thanks @canuck78 Hoping to also hear from others who may have done this or heard of cases like this where it was/is possible.

Hi, is there any pathways for someone to immigrate to Canada (Alberta specifically) without high school qualification? Would providing a LMIA for the individual to work in Canada eventually qualify him for PR application even though he has not completed high school?

Thanks @Seym Yep, nothing is guaranteed in life but a consistent trend of improving efficiency via online application is great news.
