I am preparing to send the AINP application and supporting documents... Can someone help me to clarify the below points or whoever already got AINP certificate...

1) Did u guys sent certified copy of Passport pages, Educaitonal Documents ? If yes how do we get certification??

2) Proof of employment document is required to send from all the Previous employers? If yes means anyone is enough? Offer letter or pay stub??

3) And also why are we sending photocopy of federal immigration forms now? if this is only for AINP certificate?

Anyone of your quick response will be greatly helpful for me.

seljem,

1. Passport photocopies are fine. Educational documents, jut get them notarized although it is not mentioned. However, when I had asked Gingie about this she said they will include this as a requirement in future. So just to be on safer side!!

2. Your current employment letter with latest paystubs.

3. CIC forms have lot more data like your family background, employment history, countries you lived in etc. It will help them assessing your candidature. So they need it (may be).

And of course, I am neither an expert nor an attorney and hence my suggestions come without any warranty :)

Good luck

You can apply for FSW. You dont need a job offer, however you have to meet the 67 mark requirement.

About the lawyer, you dont need to hire an attorney, you can do it by your self, but if you get an lawyer you can have peace of mind, in terms of submission, follow up and they also make sure that you have filled everything in the application and that it meet the requirements and standards of canadian immigration.

However the Alberta Strategic Stream program which you recently applied the pre assessment for is a better and faster way to immigrate to canada. You can always withdraw the FSW once you get a nomination from Alberta and reapply as a PNP candidate.

i am not a legal representative. You may want to consult a lawyer. Also if i am wrong please correct me senior members.

Another point.

My Lawyer told me that if PNP comes through (IF IF) one can easily change the fed application (already submitted) to PNP. Looks like Buffalo office is good at it.
Dnatraj,
Which lawyer are you using for your Fed who told you that if you applied for Fed and if PNP comes you can easily change it to push it forward.

My lawyer told that i will have to withdraw the Fed application and file a PNP application.

As per my knowledge; If you will withdraw your Federal Skilled Worker application, before CIC will make any decision, then you will get your refund of $550.00

Very sorry to read this, but just I have one tip which I think I would like to share with you that, for FSW you don't need any job offer, but process will take some time. Its secure and if you fulfill all the requirements, then you will get your PR in approx 12-16 months
But if you choose to go for Alberta; good choice but its good if you have current employer, because my friend informed me that his employer get call from Alberta for verification like salary, and duration etc. so if you are on your current job, then you have to apply for Alberta.
However it is the possibility that they will not call your employer, but if you are not at job and they call and check with employer, then they will ask you question about your job. Or you inform them as soon as you will get another job
I might be wrong, but please refer with lawyer, Senior members please feel free correct me. Thanks!!!

Hi, I applied for my FSW some time in July. I have not heard from them yet. Sometime in September I applied for Alberta's PNP and received my invitation sometime in October. I sent the documents back to them after filling the required forms. I have a couple of questions.

1. In my FSW application, I mentioned Toronto as the intended City I would like to live in. Now once I get (IF) my PNP, do I need to send my documents all over again or the same documents which were sent for FSW would be used.

2. I will be getting married sometime in Jan. So do I need to restart my PNP process. I hope to receive my PNP invitation by then. So do I need to include my spouse in the application.

Any replies would be immensely appreciated.
