Wow, I hadn't even realized such an informative forum existed on the topic!
So I'm in a state of panic. I'm in the US on an H1-B visa and I received and submitted my AINP application 2-3 weeks ago. Today I got the unfortunate news: I was laid off. Does that invalidate my application?
Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated, thanks

I think the requirement is minimum 1 year H1B work experience in the US. Since you have already submitted the application(did you get an employee file number) I think you should be fine. Any why don't you give them a call.lazylazarus said:Wow, I hadn't even realized such an informative forum existed on the topic!

Hi lazylazarus
This is part of a reply from Alberta when I asked them what would happen if my H1B was not extended....
"So long as you have applied to the H1B SRS prior to your H1B expiring you will qualify for this program, and should be able to process your PNP application from your home country. You will just have to update the PNP officer who is processing your application with your change of address and contact information."
contact Alberta just to make sure...

I suppose you're right rupesh, in theory that makes complete sense, and one would only need to be in valid H1-b status at the time of sending the application. The only reason I feel concerned is they seem interested in contacting one's employers, and will probably want valid proof of H1-b status once one secures the nomination.
I guess my question is: what documents are generally needed once one gets nominated? are they employment related?

No, you do not need any employment related document... as for the documents to apply for PR after AINP nomination, you might want to check the office requirements where you want to apply, they might required different documents..

I have some questions. I hope some of you will clarify them.
My PNP got approved and I am in process of sending applications to Buffalo, NY.
But before sending my application to CIC, I would like to make some changes to the original application. My question is if I can make changes to the original application that I had sent photo-copies to Alberta PNP office?
The types of changes I would like to make are as follows.
1) Add middle name to the given name field.
2) Add more historical information to the back ground check application.
Or
Can I download fresh copy of application form from the internet and start over again?

Hello Everyone,
Could you please let me know the complete procedure you followed for FBI finger printing ?
Today I tried at local police station but they denied it saying that they no longer do it as there is a guidelines from FBI to get it done electronically only. I am also not sure whether downloadable form at FBI site (http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/fprequest.htm) is appropriate for immigration purpose or not ? Your guidence is appreciated.
If someone can suggest any ohio agency would be great.
Thanks,
TR
