Alberta PNP - can anyone answer our questions?
Hi - new to this forum and placed our first request for information on lifestyle thread - whoops!
Now we're in the right place, can anyone help with these questions -
My husband has received a job offer thro' PNP. While we're waiting for confirmation from PNP, is there anything else we should be doing prior to submitting our application to CHC in London. Does my husband need to prove his work history even though he's been offered a job? Do we need our NI files, work history and police checks prior to submission or do the CHC do that as part of the application?
If anyone can offer some advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew & Linda

Yes - you need all evidence to be submitted with PR application to CHC.

Re: Alberta PNP - can anyone answer our questions?
I'm sorry, but I can't tell you what else may be needed (beyond what you see in application kit's checklist) as I don't know your case, circumstances of your qualifications, experience and job offer, I haven't see your evidence so far, etc.
Each case is unique and always requires case and circumstances specific evidence - there is no such thing as "one size fits all" in immigration process and application kits only provide a list of generic, basic requirements and list only minimum required documents plus state to submit "all other evidence that may support your case". The devil is always in "all other evidence that may support your case". Unfortunately too many applicants don't take "all other evidence" request seriously and it is one of reasons we have 50% refusal rate.

We've done this off our own back to try and speed things up when we eventually hear from PNP. Is there anything else you suggest we could be doing / requesting while we are waiting?
Much obliged.

What's an NI file and how do you get one.

the NI file is your National Insurance file, which the Inland Revenue can provide for you, free of charge. It will list every employer you have worked for when you have paid your NI contribution. It also lists your annual salary with whichever employer. You can write to the Data Protection Unit, N.I.C.O, Benton Park View, Newcastle, NE98 1ZZ and state "I WISH TO ACCESS MY NATIONAL INSURANCE ACCOUNT UNDER THE TERMS OF THE DATA PROTECTION ACT".
Ours came back 3 days later. I have read on the "Escape Mate" website that it may not do any harm to include the file with the application to the CHC in London.
I would welcome anyones thoughts or experiences of this, mind you!
I hope this is of some help.

thanks
thanks
We're still a little confused ourselves, however, Police checks appear to be accepted by CHC, etc only for 3 months since issue. Your NI file, it was suggested to us, is a good place to get info re dates of employment over the years, and annual salaries. I have seen an item on ESCAPEMATE website which suggests (and it is only a suggestion) that the NI file is submitted with your application. I don't know if they specifically ask for it. I hope this helps. Good luck.
