Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program:
Hi Rajveer, Thank you for your comments. 1)Alberta has been allocated 5500 hundred nominations for 2014. 2) The distribution of these allocations between streams and categories can vary depending on a variety of factors including the quality of the application (completeness, eligibility), labour market information, occupational supply and demand forecasting, AINP application volumes, and / or any other factors at the AINP’s discretion. 3) The most up-to-date processing times are posted on our processing times page of the website - http://www.albertacanada.com/.../ainp-processing-times.aspx. If there are any changes to processing times or to the way processing times are reported they will be posted on the website. Processing times are an estimate and are subject to change. An application to the AINP does not guarantee that you will be nominated. It is the responsibility of all applicants to the AINP to take the appropriate steps to renew their work permit. Applicants should not wait for the AINP to make a decision on their application before they start the process of getting a new work permit. 4) Any changes to the AINP (including changes to accepting applications) are posted on our news page http://www.albertacanada.com/.../immigrating/ainp-news.aspx. The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program is a permanent immigration program for individuals who intend to live and work in Alberta permanently. If it is not your intention to live and work in Alberta long-term or you are unsure if you are ready to make that kind of commitment, the AINP is not an option for you. If you are interested in a more flexible permanent immigration program for international students, check out the federal government’s Canadian Experience Class (CEC) at www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec.
