Hi all it seems Alberta Removed almost all software professionals from AINP program Eligibility who applied after may 19th 2009. I just posted my application and later I saw this bad news. Anybody aware of this?
Go to http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/immigrate/srsvisaholder.html and see the NOC list.
Thanks

What situation ? Did you mail it today ? If yes and if your NOC is not in the new list then I guess your application will be returned back. Same thing happened for folks in FSW stream and their applications were rejected because the updated list did not have their NOCs.
 
Yes I posted application today morning and later I observed this news. They will definitely reject/send back my application as NOC is not valid. But this is ridiculous that rule published date is the effective date.
Wish you all the best for the people who applied on or before yesterday(5/19/2009)

I think AB might have completed a year of this program introduce and wanted to make some changes.
