Hello guys. I'm always here at the forum, basically as a reader, but today I will tell a little bit of my story.
I received an NOI form Alberta on March 19th, I accepted on the same day, and receive the checklist also on the same day.
I gathered all the paperwork need it and fill up all the forms. I sent the documents thru mail on March 25th and on March 28th I received an email with my file number.
After approximately 30 days (April 26th to be exact) I received an email from AINP officer asking me about some details regarding my previous job and also about my previous residence addresses.
I answer the questions on the same day, send a copy of my work contract, some pictures of an old passport showing that I traveled a lot to work and they replied me with a "Thank You!" only.
Yesterday, April 29th, I received an email from them with my nomination letter and also a confirmation from the IRCC website. I confirmed my letter at the website and after 5 minutes my profile was updated with my 600 extra points!
Extra details:
My profile had 442 points.
My NOC code is 2145 (Petroleum Engineer).
I believed that I could have an issue with my WES report, which is requested as the original at the checklist, but I sent only a copy, printed from the WES website. As you can see, it worked for me, so I believe IT IS NOT MANDATORY to send the original report. This was a recurrent question here at the forum and I could find a straight answer.
Wish you guys the best!
