Hello friends...
Got my Nomination yesterday by Email ;D
I had been following this forum from last almost 2 years
My timeline-
Applied on 25th Oct 2014 as Front Desk Agent Noc 6525 EDS International Graduate category
File received in the Ainp office on 28th Oct 2014
File no received on 19th Nov
Changed employer on 4th Dec 2014 and updated Ainp via fax and speed post as well
No news till June 2016. Got frustrated and applied Ainp under Hotel and Lodging category in June 2016. They called after a week and asked me to pull one of the file out as both couldn't be processed. I sent them a fax asking to cancel the file under EDS International Graduate category as i was loosing hopes under this category. They didn't receive any fax and sent me my declined Hotel and Lodging file back after 3 weeks.
Got promoted in August 2016 and Updated Ainp my new position with current employer under NOC 6313.
No news. Called Ainp on 19th Octobet to check if they received my letter of update via speed post. The lady confirmed affirmative and said that the file hasn't been assigned yet to any officer. The very next day got a call from an Ainp Officer asking for almost all the documents again as i changed my employer back in 2014. The officer asked few questions for 5 minutes like if I am still working with the same employer, my position, working hours, new employer's email address and if I have applied under Express Entry. I haven't applied under EE.
IMM 003, IMM 005, Generic form and all other documents were Resend on 24 October and got my AINP yesterday in Email. They didn't call me again neither my employer.
Work permit expiring on 20 Feb 2017.
Good luck for those who are waiting. Ainp officer Kevin Smily was very polite on phone. Do not panic my friends,everyone will eventually get it. Ainp wouldn't let anyone go back who waited anything more than 15-16 months for Nomination.
A tip for anyone who has recently applied under EDS Internation Grad Only- If you have 20-30 months of work permit left please explore other Provinces if you don't want to wait for Nomination frustated..You definitely will get it eventually but it's not worth to wait that long if you have other options
Good luck everyone. Peacing out 8)
