Software Developers are no longer eligible.

and what about Systems Administrator skill

Hello Om,

The occupation list keeps getting updated on a quarterly basis or so. Currently, software engineers/developers and sysadministrators are not in the "AINP Occupations under Pressure List for the Strategic Recruitment Stream – U.S. Visa Holder Category".

You can regularly check the list at http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/media/h1b_AINP_Occupations_Under_Pressure_List.pdf.

Also read the FAQ's in this immigration forum which gives a good insight into the AINP program. The timelines keep changing as more and more people are now turning to Canada. When I applied, all the process including Nomination and CIC process took around 1year to complete, but it may be 1.5 years or so now.

Best of luck.
