H1B - Alberta PNP File Number / Certificate Timeline

[Albertadude]

Atleast the good news is that they are still issuing file numbers

Hi There,

My application was sent by my attorneys on Feb 9 2009
Received acknowledgment of receipt on May 11 2009 confirming that they received my application on March 17 2009
File Number XXXX-XX-1273

Read several threads on this forum but am having a hard time figuring out what the timeline is. Would appreciate it if someone is kind enough to elaborate a little.
Thanks

AINP changed the processing time for SRS H1-B last Friday. New processing time is...
Notification (pre-assessment): At least four months
Candidate assessment: At least eight months
Total AINP processing time: At least twelve months (Now they use the word "At least" instead of "Up to")
The website also says "In some cases, it may be at least 12 months before processing commences on an application without a job offer."

And it seems that AINP has stopped issuing nomination certificates because no one in this forum has received nomination for over a month. It is probably due to the economy, but anyway this is a bad news for all of us. (AINP gives priority processing for those with a job offer, but you know how difficult it is...)

BTW, what is your NOC?

I think my NOC is Information Systems Manager..dont know it for sure..waiting for confirmation from my attorney. Will keep you posted.

as albertaorbust said, sit on file # and pickle it...

[Albertadude]

Atleast there is hope that the application is still active. Hopefully they don't increase the timeline more!!!!!. Does anybody know the last known file number to get nomination????

Hello Friends,
Im sharing my opinion about some people who were saying "don't contact AINP office"
Dear Friend, I understand your concern.. But what you have mentioned is not the reality in most of the cases..
Do you know how many H1B guys will be out every month? either because of Recession, h1b extention problem, visa expiry and lot of frustrations.. Every one has different issues, dont blame others for following their way.

Also we are in democratic world, everyone has their own rights to talk about their systems and values. Still they follow their system and calling AINP, what is the wrong in that..? Even AINP never said dont call us back.. We are all targeting to achive something.. So, please share your opinion and everyone is well educated, they know about their future..

We learnt how to survive in this Worst market.. So, nothing is worst than being with this recession.. so.... pls..

Anoop,

You are fairly new to the forum and your application is not that old. There are people out here who have applied months before you applied and it has built a level of frustration. You cannot compare your case with them. You are bold to say you can go back to your home country while there are others who are willing to try every possible way not to go back. No one is wrong. Every is free to do what they want. Alberta have a given out a number on their website and it is for people to call.

Grow up and stop thinking about yourself. That is being selfish.

All,

Call AINP but not before their processing times is completed as it will increase processing times. However if you need to report a change in your personal situation then you would definitely need to call. Each case is different, so calling may/may not be feasible in some cases. Nobody can restrict anybody else as to what they wanna do according to their own personal situation.

Anoop, I agree with your concern. This is your individual perception.. So, you should not force someone also to do the same thing.. (Everyone) whoever has applied for ANIP must have read "albertacanada.com/h1b " link.. Nothing new in there and everybody knows the fact..
You are right. . Still thanks for sharing the info..

They(link) mentioned, Due to heavy volume they will delay the process or in some cases it may take more time than commenced (at least 12 months to start.. you want a link for that..? no.. its there on your shared link..). So, in such cases how people will think and react..? Whatever it is.. this is a forum to discuss our views not just commenting on something which is nowhere closer to the target..

Under the new timeline I believe 8 month candidate assessment is from the time one gets the file number. So if an applicant had received file number in March then he/she can expect something by November!!!!

Albertadude,

You can never tell about AINP. They might issue nominations in September or may be in March 2010.

 

[AlbertaGovernor]

May be 1 year.

Waiting Folks,

Many of you must have received this message from AINP. Does that mean the timeline has been stretched further?

engg,

I remembered your words, you were right about 1 year. So you also are into the business of making predictions. Good for you !

 

[Sonu81]

September would be good but March 2010 would suck. But atleast good news is that world economy seems to be picking up, so may be AINP might start issuing nominations soon!!!!

File number advantage

Application sent : 25 March
File number recieved : 10 August

Can someone guide about how much time it takes to get the PNP nominaiton?
What is the advantage of getting file number? Can I look for a job in Alberta? Being very optismitic, if I get one, what will be the process to join for the job? Does anyone have any idea about how much time the process will take?

Will this file number have the same advantage for my spouce? Same questions for him. Can he search and join for a job opportunity in alberta? if yes how and how soon?

Everyone seems to be very happy after recieving the file number... Should I be happy too?
