Hi kv_ajay
Can you post the timeline or your case? once AOR is received they'll send you the medicals and then it will take 1 month for them to review your case... in this moment if you have a job offer you can send it to CIC so they are aware of that.
I would definitely contact Alberta AINP and ask them for a support letter to get the work permit right away... and ask them to send the letter ASAP... priority mail or something like that...
processing Work permit/Visa in the consulate with letter issued by AINP takes less than a week if you go personally and talk to the consular officer... (this is where I made the mistake because I left my application in the consulate but I did not speak to the officer)
The recruiter said 3 months for work permit because usually it takes that long to get LMO.. this is like a LCA for your H1B..
This is not your case if you are nominated by Alberta... LMO is waived because the province already nominated you... with the nomination they are saying that you are what they want...
And in the interview you have to tell them that your work permit will be processed right away (as it is stated in the AINP website).
BTW in the AINP nomination letter... there is a phone number with the name of the officer which you can contact in case of a job offer letter... at least mine had that information. call him/her as soon as you get a job offer... so they help you... Do not contact AINP program 1800 number because some of the people who answer the phone do not have idea about H1B program and they mislead you.. again your best shot is the officer/phone number in your nomination letter
I hope this helps
