January 2020 AINP NOI

[ingoingoingo]

Hi guys, looks like this is the right place to post my query regarding AINP draw.
The CRS score listed on the Alberta official portal states that they have issued 150 NOI's as of 29th Jan draw for the crs score as low as 300. https://www.alberta.ca/ainp-processing-inventory.aspx I would like to know for which NOC's these NOI's issued?
My wife's NOC is 1112 and she got a CRS score of 345. But, she has not received any invite. I tried contacting them but have not received any response ye5. Maybe I am not aware of the rules of the game

Any help would be appreciated!

So ... the not such good news is that NOC 1112 Financial and Investment Analysts is on the low demand list for Alberta:
https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/61843e6c-f254-4c93-81b2-36d8f03e6a31/resource/dd08b160-b1af-4bdd-91f8-647e85084116/download/stef-2018-report.pdf
We don’t know if this list is what AINP uses. In fact, no one knows for sure how they prioritize different NOCs. But it seems that this and connections to Alberta are the most important. Some posts say that connections become less important as the year goes on, so outland with no links get more chance for nomination.

But better news is that 1112 is not in the list of ineligible occupations:
https://www.alberta.ca/ainp-selection-criteria.aspx#toc-0
Or the list of AEES high volume applications (that can mean a longer processing time):
https://www.alberta.ca/ainp-processing-inventory.aspx#toc-2

Does your wife have connections to Alberta?

You might be able to see if you could legitimately use a different NOC that is in more demand. But be careful as it cannot be misleading or you could get a 5 year ban. And I’m sure you’ve already checked what is the best way to split principal applicant and spouse. And that the box to receive nominations from Alberta was checked and the profile does not expire in next 3 months.

There’s no point contacting AINP about this; unfortunately, it’s not a mistake. Provincial draws to issue NOI work differently to ITA for Express Entry. The CRS score is not actually particularly important. People are successful with scores in low 300s. It’s all about NOC and connections.

Thank you @ainp2020! You’re absolutely right. It’s 27 days and 19 working days today. Really hoping for today or tomorrow .

The obsession has reached new heights today ... lots of checking emails, my EE profile and looking at these forums ! Don’t think my boss has been contacted yet, as expect he would have let me know (though don’t know for sure and will update when do to help others).

Will be sure that all my friends here in AINP process will be the first to know! Good luck everyone !!

No news and it’s now 6pm MST ... tomorrow is another day. Had counted wrong before: Friday will be 28 days and 19 working days. Others had heard by 27-28 and 18-19 respectively. My boss hasn’t been contacted.

Trying to keep positive and not check all the time. Just need to be patient some more!

Not necessarily.. maybe not at all from what im reading. It's very much situation specific. If youre telling the truth there should be no problems.

Hey friend, thanks for the detailed information. I really hope that everyone of us gets NOI from Alberta and we reach our desired destination

Hang in there bud. I totally feel you. Running out of visa, Canadian girlfriend (nope, not involved in my immigration), so there's no option of going home. Stay positive!
