AIPP Update from Fellow Participants

Yesterday, while reading CanadaVisa Forum I found out that some of the participants from NB Information Session last February already received an email from NB staff. They are invited to attend the recruitment fair in Hong Kong on May 21. The NB staff selected candidates from the sessions who are under the following jobs: home support workers, food service supervisors and managers; and manufacturing workers. The employers will contact them directly once they qualified for one of the following jobs. Then, that is the only time they can book their flight to Hong Kong. Each candidates should already have their IELTS and ECA with them before the interview. If the employers find them eligible, they will receive a job offer and can begin their permanent residency application  through the  Pilot or Provincial Nominee Program. 

Here is the sample email from a fellow participant:

Below is from the website http://livinginnb.ca.

This news made me sad a bit because I was  hoping to hear from an employer this April but it doesn't mean I am disheartened as I am not losing hope and faith that soon we will receive an invitation from NB staff. Maybe they decided to do the recruitment fair in Hong Kong because a number of participants from the February sessions have different jobs from what they need. Maybe they will have another sessions in Manila with different set of employers and jobs. Maybe they will be looking for NOC 0601 or 6621. Maybe when that time comes my husband will finally receive the most-awaited job offer that we are praying for. We are keeping our faith high as nothing is impossible with HIM.

NBPNP Email for AIPP

The first week of April has passed and we haven't heard anything from NB staff. I'm thinking if they are just waiting for the Holy Week to pass or if they're still working with the designated employers for the new information session. Since I can't sleep anymore because of anxiety, I've decided to email the NB staff to ask for the designated employers.

I analysed their reply line by line as I want to make sure I'm getting everything correct:

There is no way an employee can apply directly to the designated employers as they are not providing information on who are already designated. So, does it mean they are really into giving information sessions then choosing from applicants who are eligible and have jobs that are in-demand to the province?

Temporary foreign workers and recent international graduates from the province are given priority but if they want to increase their population they must invite and hire foreign workers, too.

This is the part that talked about international information sessions and recruitment fairs. All those who registered and attended the information session last February have to wait for further announcements on when and where will the next sessions be and for what NOC will it be. 

I check the NB Information Session from time to time and today they updated their website and the next sessions will be in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in May. Companies will be looking for applicants under the following:

• Food service supervisors and managers (NOC 6311 and 0631)
• Home support workers (NOC 4412)
• Process Control Operators, Food and Beverage Processing ( NOC 9416)
• Labourers in Food, Beverage and Tobacco Processing (NOC 9617)

I am hoping and praying that the next sessions will be in Manila. May they next stop be in the Philippines since they are already in Asia. And I'm staying positive that they need foreign workers with NOC 0601 or 6221.
