AINP Family Stream - Question on Education and Experience

[laidback87uk]

I am a British Citizen and applying soon for AINP Family Stream. However, I am confused about the education and experience requirements.

AINP requirements state the following:

1. The Candidate or their Spouse/Common-law partner (if applicable) must be able to demonstrate completion of a post-secondary diploma or degree program of at least two (2) years in duration.
2. The Candidate or their Spouse/Common-law partner (if applicable) must be able to demonstrate one of the following:
- a minimum of three years of full-time work experience that is related to individual’s post-secondary credential within the past four years
- a minimum of three years of full-time post-secondary school within the past four years
- a combination of three years of full-time work experience and full-time post-secondary school within the past four years. The education and experience must be related (i.e. an Engineering degree and working as an Engineer).

I understand that Section 1 states the minimum education requirement, whilst Section 2 specifies the minimum requirement for work experience (which can be substituted by 3 years of full-time post-secondary school). My current situation is the following: I am 22 years old at the moment, did my A-Levels when I was 18-19, and a bachelors degree when I was 19-22. My work experience is, naturally, limited, since I was mostly in full-time education during the past 5 years. Thus, I don’t meet the minimum work experience requirement. However, I have finished a 3-year bachelors degree, which I understand I can substitute for the lack of work experience.

Therefore, I was hoping to clarify the following:

1. If assuming that 'post-secondary education' means my undergraduate degree, does this mean that my degree would satisfy both Sections 1 and 2.2?
2. I was wondering why does the checklist requires me to 'provide reference letter for all employers in the past four years demonstrating how my work experience is related to their post-secondary education', when I am using my post-secondary education as a substitute for work experience (which, from how I understand it, Section 2 allows me to do so).

Hi, your understanding is Ok according to requirement.

You can mention n/a (Not Applicable) in the checklist, while submitting the application.

Do keep in mind that the the AINP processing time is more than 4 years... CIC time is additional. moreover, you still have to show the funds.

you can also have 1 yr experience in the Fast Track Occupations and apply as FSW....

If CIO office in Sydney can start with application process in few months, what are this guys in Alberta doing for so long? This is just a back up option if something goes wrong, because it is definitely too long to wait.
