Hi there,
I am a New Zealand citizen and have just arrived in Canada. I have applied for Working Holiday visa which entitles me to work anywhere in Canada for one year.
I work in IT and most of the jobs are based in Alberta region. Now my question is can I apply for AINP having a skilled job in NOC A list while still being on Working Holiday visa? Is there a time restriction before i can apply for AINP? Also does my employer need to produce anykind of documentation?

Hi,

Check out the requirements on the Alberta govt website for the PNP program, they should have a list of what an employer should provide for your application. If you have a permanent job and your employer can prove they are having trouble filling it then your application should sail through. I came in on a WHV as well, was fortunate to get a job almost on arrival and have PR a year later. Good luck!

Cheers,

OM
 
Thanks a lot for your reply...
I am still awaiting my WHP...Once that comes through I will start looking for a job.

Thanks
