1. No Photos are required during AINP process... just fill up your CIC forms and send a copy...
2. Economic class and in other write PNP
3. I think you answer yourself this question... you mention all the info you are asking for...

BTW there is a very useful FAQ and you may find many answers to your questions

Thanks for your time in replying to my questions

For question 3 in my question list above, I meant to ask the number of years that we mention for each educational standard.
For example

elementary/primary No: of years?
secondary/high school No: of years?
university/college No: of years?
trade school or other post secondary No: of years?

FYI...
My completed my education in India untill Bachelors and did masters in US.

Can any one of you please tell me how to mention the number of years(please see above) for each educational standard?

I would suggest that you write the number of year you actually took to finish your grades... of course if you had to repeat a class or something like that then don't mention that time... and provide the transcripts/grades/diplomas to Alberta. They'll figure it out

In my case my BS took 5.5 years but I just wrote 5 because I had to repeat one of the subjects and I did not include the MS because I haven't finished it yet. However I did provide transcripts of the MS subjects taken and diplomas/grades/transcripts of my BS...

BTW I did not provide any high , middle nor elementary school diplomas...

I hope this helps...

If you were able to get direct admission to to a US university in master's degree program, then you must have done 4 years bachelor's like engineering.

Just write the normal length of the programs/degrees. You need to send transcripts/marksheet and certificate/diplomas of Bachelor's and master's. You do not need to send school diplomas or even intermediate diploma (if that is what you did).

I guess all depends on the country where you studied but roughly it all comes down to the almost same number of years :D... In my country the normal length is

elementary/primary = 5 years (class 1-5)
secondary/high school = 6 years (class 6-11)
university/college = 5 years
MS = 2 years (however you can find 1-year MS in Canada/Europe nor sure about US though)
