    guys, I also got the same AINP update, they acknowledge the application was received but no file number and I particulary loved the part where they say "dont contact us to inquire about your app unless you have Alberta employer job offer on hand..."

    My dear fellow old timers, time flies on my end. I left US on the first day of my visa validity date (may 31st), and arrived to UK on June 1st. Going through UK immigration was unbeliavably easy. The lady scanned visa, stamped it with arrival date and welcomed me to UK. No questions asked! I...
