Hi! I applied for Alberta Opportunity Stream January 2020. I got layed off from work since March 2020 because of Covid, an AINP officer called me on May 4, 2020 asking if I am still working, that is a week after AINP emailed about the changes to application due to Covid. I told her I am currently lay off so she told me she cannot process my application until I can get back to work either to my employer or to find another employer as long as it on the same NOC. And right now she put my application on hold for 60 days.
I am currently 8months pregnant and probably would give birth middle of June 2020, thats 7 weeks more. I explained it to her and she told me once I give birth and applied fot maternity leave and still haven't got back to work my application will be cancelled. I am under PGWP and my permit will expire June 2021 exactly 1 year of my maternity leave. My timing is pretty tight now because of Covid. And the officer didnt understand my situation that its because of this virus I was layed off and I have no choice but to stay home (by the way I am a cook). And also knowing I already have 1year work experience to be qualified to apply for AINP thats why I was confident before I received a call from an officer. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you!
