You do not need to bother with the Professional Engineer certification at the time of application. You may need it when you are actually looking for jobs.

Thanks diva,
the news is big relief for many of us.
BTW, did they check your application in their system or did they just told you this?
My problem is that I sent my application in regular mail without confirmation. If I call them, do you think they will check whether they received it or not?

Ok, I talked to the AINP just now and they said that if everything is in order, you may not get your file number and would receive the nomination letter directly and not to panic as it is not yet 5 months since the date you applied (my appln was rcvd on Jan 16th).

So folks, dont expect a file number under the new process and keep checking your snail mail boxes according to them.

Everything is there. You do not need any confirmation. Just wait to recieve the file number or Certificate or request for Additional document.

They did not ask for any of my details. This was a general answer that they gave, asking me to wait for 5 months (normal processing time for nomination certificate, they said).

I am not aware if they would answer if your application was received. I guess it should be rcvd.

I submitted my AINP documents April-06-2009.
In the CIC forms i mentioned the city/province as Toronto.
Made this mistake as i was filing for FSW and saw this program
few days back.
Can anyone suggest any issues in this?
or a way it can be corrected?

[pv]

There has been a case and what I heard from this forum, they reject the application - I can not validate this information.

But you need to act fast on this, and should send a letter to them explaining the reason and tell them you wrote 'TORONTO' as an error and I have all true intension of making 'alberta' as my home once reach there.

Don't forget to write your full name, date of birth and NOC you have applied for.

Good luck

Just admit the mistake and immediately fax the new page of that form with Calgary or Edmonton as intended place to live. They will add this new form to your application packet. Do it ASAP before it gets in front of Officer. .

Hi Albertagoverner ,

I too remember seeing a case of a AINP reject application for having written Toronto

And once rejected there is no appeal process. So I suggest, email , fax , mail and also follow up with a call to explain to them

AB H1B program is at http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/campaigns/h1b.html
2173 Software Engineers and Designers is on their list
If you want to apply, try to get in before April 15 because they will change the list then and nobody knows what will be taken out of it.

Should the postmark date be before April 15? Or must my application be received before April 15?

Thanks.

Just for information, I applied with AINP 009 form and filled the forms. Are there any specific answers of questions like:
What you intend to do to find  job in Alberta?
What you have done in past for settlement in Alberta?

What should I write and How long it should be? Please help..

The keyword here is you.  Nobody can tell you what you intend to do or what you have already done.  You have to answer this for yourself.

I can tell you what you should be doing though.  You should be going to job search websites and checking how many jobs there are in your line of work and in what town.  You should be researching Alberta housing market, climate and cities to find out where you would like to live, of course linked to if there might be a job there for you.
