PNP Non-EE AIPP - Lost Job During Federal Process

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my experience with the PNP Non-EE AIPP (Alberta Advantage Immigration Program) and seek some advice. Unfortunately, I lost my job about three months ago, right in the middle of the federal process. It has been a challenging time, but I'm hoping someone out there has been through a similar situation and can provide some insights.

The situation became even more complicated when the visa office (VO) asked me to submit additional documents such as my T4, bank statements, and an employment letter. Since I was no longer employed, I had to explain my circumstances to the VO and provide evidence of my active job search, including attending job interviews and actively hunting for employment opportunities. However, instead of receiving a decision on my eligibility, the VO informed me that they have initiated a security check. While I understand the need for security measures, it's frustrating to be caught in this process while my eligibility assessment is still underway.

It's disheartening to have the uncertainty of both job loss and immigration hanging over me simultaneously. I'm trying to stay positive and keep pushing forward, but the doubts and concerns can sometimes become overwhelming. If anyone has managed to overcome a similar setback, I would appreciate any tips or strategies you can share.

In the meantime, I'll continue to actively search for new job opportunities and provide updates to the VO regarding my progress. Additionally, I am worried that the VO might reject my application due to my job loss. If anyone has experienced a similar situation or has knowledge about the subject, I would appreciate any information you can provide. It would be helpful to know if there are any measures I can take to address this concern.

If anyone has any insights or suggestions on navigating the job market during these challenging times, please feel free to share. Any advice or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated
I'm sorry this has happened to you.

I think the best advice any of us can give you is to find a new job / employer as soon as you can.

It terms of navigating the job market, I think it would be helpful if you told us what field you work in / what kinds of jobs you're looking for.

Good luck.
