Talking about alberta.

the rules are set to change in june 2014. I agree.

mostly changes will be focussed on students from other provinces coming in here and applying for pr.

students who study in alberta will be eligible for direct pr nomination upon graduation.

Now this is not a small thing for the province.

They get a lot of revenue from intl students and this money is being put into the development of the province and in return they givr u pr and mostly all people would stay here and pay taxes ur whole life.

Look at the equilibrium - on one hand province is getting such a huge monetary benefit and they give u pr in return .

Kinda win win situation to develop this province.

See friends, study in Quebec , then if you know French decently well then we can apply for PR from there itself. But otherwise we always get the three year work permit, once we get that . We can somehow have 1 year work experience , then apply for PR , also there is an option to get PR easily once we have a job offer with us. There is no quota for such applications.

I thank each and everyone out here who has put their opinions here.

The only official test results that the AINP will accept are listed below, along with the minimum language standards.

Thanks propain,
I have gone through this earlier, but I was assuming that all the consitions listed above must be satisfied together, for a candidate to be eligible for AINP. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. Thats why I was assuming, that after completion of say 2 years Masters course, I should have a valid job offer in NOC Category from Alberta employer, Only then I can file for AINP.

Your right.

Any field full time job u will be eligible to apply for ainp

I am not sure if it is any field or specifically related to one;s own field.. Cudn't find it written nywhere..
But yes, it has to be in " Be working in one of the following National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill levels:
NOC 0: Management occupations
NOC A: Occupations that usually require university education
NOC B: Occupations that usually require college education
NOC C: Occupations that usually require specific training and/or secondary education."
