H1B - Alberta PNP File Number / Certificate Timeline

[Jacaranda]

I for one am enjoying the peace and quiet ... and truth in here

immigration.info@gov.ab.ca....

What email address did you send to? Pnp.office emails are getting bounced.

February 20th: I received my file number in an email which also stated that I may also receive decision in 40 - 60 days
April 28: (as many of you already know) I emailed them about my nomination certificate.
May 4th: I received replay back telling me that I'm 4th in queue and should hear back before June 1st and if I don't them I should contact them back....
June 1st: I didn't hear anything from AINP, hence mailed them again since its way past the time line they mentioned in the email stating my file number...
June 2nd: I received email from them telling me that my nomination certificate was issued on May 8 and it'd take about 4 to 6 months to get to me.... so, as suggested in the email, I should wait for two more weeks patiently before I get the actual certificate in my mail.
Actual email statement ...
.... “You nomination certificate was issued May 8, 2009. We ask that people allow for 4 – 6 weeks for delivery. As it is just under the 4 week mark, we ask that you wait a few more weeks for it to be delivered.”
Now I am really hoping that this message means that nomination certificate is positive otherwise they'd call it something else like, rejection letter or something .... right...?

Dear Friends, Just FYI following was my enquiry and AINP response,

"Dear AINP Officer,
My name is Sava (NOC 2131), and I have sent my AINP application packet in March and it was verified by FedEx that you received it on March 6, 2009.
I was wondering if you have allotted me a File number? If yes, may I please know it for my records.
Is my application complete, or is there anything you need from me? Please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Regards,
Sava "

Folks,
I am sure all of us realize that when we hit on quote, typically the earlier message is "quoted". It will be useful to know the original quote to place our reply in context. However when the quoted message is too long, we may want to delete some of the redundant thread..... It doesn't save trees or exquisite creatures, I concede, but makes the readers life a bit easier.

Waiting Folks,

Has anyone received any communication from AINP recently in June?

 

[sirsmak]

Hello everyone.....

Long wait is over for me.... Today I got the nomination packet. A quick recap;
Alberta received my application on Dec 31st
Alberta sent me file number with application receipt confirmation on February 20th
Alberta sends me Nomination certificate June 8, 2009
My NOC code 2171
Currently in the process of getting the PCCs and FBI reports....

Thanks for all your good inputs and suggestions.

They have also sent me the application for PR-SW Buffalo checklist. Under the “P” (Provincials Nominees) checklist, proof of settlement funds box is included .... But when I checked online for the same checklist form on CIC website, it doesn't have this requirement. Is this a new development? Was this a requirement before and not anymore?

Thanks
