hi magi,
please if you do not have the correct answers,stop replying to people queries here.
*number one: a reference letter from your employer is not required for the AINP under AWE category(applicants please make sure the AINP website is your primary source of informations) as this will guide in the right path.
*number two: it dos not take 3 months to complete application under PNP and 5 months under CEC (lol i wish) please check CIC website for processing times,also cic website should be your primary source of informations after you get your nomination certificate.
*number three: all applications should be sent to CIO(centralized intake office) in sydney nova scotia,they will screen your application and make sure all forms are completed and signed if its missing something it will be rturned to you if its complete you will be issued an AOR and your application will be forward to the visa office requested for further processing(please note that you can not choose CIO as your visa office,they do not process applications,if you have lived in canada for one year or more then you have a choice between CPP-OTTAWA and your home country visa office).
*number four:IELTS or CELPIP language results are not requested by the CIC if you are nominated by your province for a skilled job noc 0-A-B,only noc C-D must submit test results.
