Both my friend and I are reaching 4 year cap--mine on April 1, 2015 and him on April 15, 2015.

The staff at the AINP office must be running off their feet, trying to deal with many TFWs reaching the April 1 four year cap all at once.

My Friend and I applied for AINP on May 22, 2014, both received AOR on June 16, and file# August 20, 2014. My permit expires April 1, 2015 and my friend's expires on April 15, 2015.
My employer received a phone call from AINP office on Sat. March 14, 2015 regarding my employment status and company's WCB account # and I received my AINP nomination on Friday, March 20. However, my friend is still waiting, and there has not been any phone call regarding his employment status either.
The AINP office is definitely prioritizing files based on permit expiry date.
congrats and what is NOC please
 
We were lucky that our employer was able to receive a positive LMO back in May of 2014, before Mr. Jason Kenny introduced all the changes that made it extremely difficult to apply now.

Why didn't you apply through Express Entry?

So, I guess you created a profile and you probably received ITA....

Just another foolish waste of nomination????????
 
It means alberta govt and federal govt do not have any information flow between them. They are wasting the nomination certificates for no reasons.

Why do not AINP forward the 4 years cap affected applicants to next year by giving so called bridging work permit so that they could use those 1000 spots for other applicants
 
AINP officers should stop issuing nominations for those with LMO and whose noc codes are from O, A, B as they have already received ITAs
 
Why everything is working in favour of those who are under 4 year cap..
Federal already alloted extension for 1000 applicants
Now Ainp is giving nominations to those whose wp is expiring on april 1..
Why there is nothing in favour of international students..who should get preference because of the education in canada..why we are always left behind.. They will never prioritize us even our wp expire.. Why different rules for every single applicant..there would be hardly 4000 nominations left after april

I agree. if someone has LMIA/LMO under NOC O,A, and B then it is a sure shot for EE's ITA. then why AINP officers are bothering about it. Please think it twice before you issue a nomination certificate

Please issue certificates for PGWP holders because they will remain in Alberta, pay tax for Alberta, purchase houses in Alberta, purchase cars in Alberta, school kids in Alberta, do daily grocery in Alberta---------------------> they are customers who create demand for Alberta.

Your argument is invalid. Anybody living in Alberta will do that not only PGWP holders.

I dnt knw where is this coming from ? part where u say PGWP holders will stay in alberta (assuming others wont). I was also a PGWP holder. Even if u wanna look in a way that who will stay in alberta nd who wont, logical thinking wud say ppl with LMIA r more likely to stay in alberta than PGWP as they r bonded to the same employer regardless of anything. whereas PGWP with open work permit can choose anytime to work for another employer or in other province. for the record m not LMIA holder.
 
I think this is ridiculous that they give nominations to people that are not even gonna use them. This is just waste of their resources.
