Hi folks,
Sorry for absent from this forum for a while. I have some information want to share with you.
It's a really bad time for the market now, here in Calgary. I'm currently working for an engineering and design firm company, and couple weeks recently, there are lot of employees got laid off, due to shortage of projects and workload. It scares the crap out of me to I think what could happen if I got laid off.
So, I called the AINP representative, asking what would happens and here is what they told me:
For the Engineering Occupations Category or the Strategic Recruitment Stream in general, immigration process won't be stopped if the applicants got laid off. Applicants just need to notify the PNP office that they're no longer working for that employer.
Only those applicants who sponsored by the employers like the Employer-Driven Stream, immigration process will be affected if applicants got laid off.
This information is what I was told by the representative from Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program. For other provinces, I have no idea if they apply the same concept like Alberta.
Wish you all the best,
Thanks
