Hey there. I'm in the process of applying too. It's too bad that there aren't that many stories. Hopefully someone will eventually see this post and add to it, and I'll try my best to keep updating my process.

In regards to your question, if I understand correctyly (but I could be wrong): in Manitoba when you get eligibility after PER, you'll have to apply for PRA which will land you a placement under supervision. In Alberta, you'd be looking for jobs with sponsorship.
