So there are people here been waiting like a year, then they will have to go through another 19 months with CIC. On the other hand, Alberta has been giving out Express Entry nominations to people outside Canada who have no connections with Alberta.

Wow, glad that your wait has come to an end. I have a feeling that CIC forgot people in this thread, until an MP queries them.

You got AOR super quick in 20 days, and then no MR. Wish there was a way to know how CIC works.

Did your friend study in Alberta? Was her NOC C related to her field of study in Alberta?

I just checked the processing time for spouse sponsorship program is 12 months. So it's still faster than 19 months lol. How ironic that everything is faster than CIC-PNP, though PNP inlands are people already adapted here, contributing and paying tax to Canada.

I don't think they need background check for Canadian spouse. It's just your luck, but I think you're very close already. For EE, you will need to retake IELTS if it's expired.

Sorry to hear about your case but I would say it's your fault as well as other people in this thread when choosing not to go with Express Entry. You got a Master's from UBC and Canadian work experience, I believe you won't need to achieve CLB 9, thus EE should be easy. I have seen people...

Lol I mean won't you be back in Canada these 18 months? Believe me, it doesn't make your progress faster if you do medical now vs. 9 months later.

Why would someone do this? You've got 18 months waiting ahead, plenty of time.

You can only predict when to receive MR or PPR based on people submitting their file one month before you. Why try to estimate a time for the future, then get nothing? People from January 2018 got their processing blazing fast like Express Entry, but I bet it's gonna stop now until people in...

To people in this thread that are eligible for Express Entry, what is stopping you from ditching PNP?

I believe the way CIC works is stupid. Applying for Post Grad Work Permit (even Co-op work permit) online inside Canada takes such 3 months. It's not fair while Express Entry for people applying from outside Canada takes only 6 months. CIC put all their staff into Express Entry, so no wonder why...

I don't know why so many people are fond of PNP paper based, while they will be eligible for EE. You could have saved the money for EE. I guess around the same time you receive AOR 3 months later, you will be able to apply for EE.

I've noticed a trend that applicants, who applied between Nov 2017 and Feb 2018, moved forward quickly with their applications. After March 2018, things got slow again. My guess is that all PNPs reached enough quotas, thus stopped issuing nominations at the end of 2017. So CIC was less busy...

Why did it take such 11 months for your MR? Did you order GCMS notes to see what actually happened?

Congrats on being the first chosen for Alberta Express Entry. You said you have worked in Alberta since 2016, why didn't you apply for Ainp earlier?

Automotive technician is regulated in Alberta and some provinces. It is actually illegal to work without proper license. So, if you somehow got the license, it should be easy to immigrate anywhere in Canada.

Why is there such a difference between these two inland applications?

I see this is fast, but the processing time on CIC website says 19 months at the moment. So, inland is faster than outland? How long is the average time till PPR for inland?

Didn't you forget they were going to eliminate the SRS Stream at the end of last year? That plan has been postponed until further notice. So think about it this way. International students are not welcome here anymore. Consider yourself lucky that Ainp still accepted your application. The real...
