Many people are moving out of their native country and settling in developed nations. It has been observed that most of the people prefer to settle in Canada rather than any other country. There are several countries where one might settle in and one such country is Alberta. People can apply under the Alberta Immigration Nominee Program (AINP) to settle in the country.

Besides applying one should know that the applicant has to wait for several months before getting the visa under the program. Thus the applicant must know the Alberta nominee program processing time and then make the changes accordingly in their schedule. One of the easiest ways is to check the status of the visa on the internet.

But before checking on the internet about processing time one should wait for the file number which will be notified by the AINP and it may take up to 30 days. The Alberta nominee program processing time varies from category to category. Each category requires the checking of the documents and also looking up on the qualification of the applicant.

The processing time required for the skilled worker, tradesperson, engineer and international graduate category needs at least a month. But for the semi-skilled worker category the processing time is for at least four months. For the US visa holders the processing time is for at least 22 months.

Sometimes the applicant wants to give some additional documents to the concerned authority or if the nomination was declined they want to apply for it again. Well in that case the applicant must send the file number and the name with the related documents at the registered office. Also the people can even send an e-mail or fax at the desired number. One can look for the details of the office on the internet.
