The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), formerly known as the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program, extends an invitation to immigrants with the necessary qualifications and work history to immigrate to and reside in the province.

Streams for Skilled Workers

The Alberta Opportunity Stream is an option for qualified individuals who are already employed in Alberta and for foreign graduates who have finished their studies at an accredited post-secondary school in Alberta.

The AAIP encourages student applicants who can show that their training and employment abilities are in line with the demands of Alberta’s labour market to submit an application for the Alberta Opportunity Stream.

Candidates in the Express Entry program who have a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 300 may choose to apply through the Alberta General Express Entry Stream. Additionally, the candidate’s line of work must promote Alberta’s diversification and growth of its economy.

An additional 600 CRS points will be awarded if Alberta recommends the applicant, effectively ensuring that they will obtain an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in a subsequent Express Entry draw.

How to apply for Alberta PNP?

Prior to applying, a candidate must decide which stream is best for them given their individual circumstances, based on the qualifying requirements.
The federal Express Entry program is compatible with enhanced streams. The Alberta government may send a Notification of Interest to applicants who have used the Express Entry system and want to immigrate to the province. Applicants must reply to the Notification of Interest. They must submit an application through the AAIP site if they are selected.
Only the Alberta Express Entry stream and the Alberta Accelerated Tech Pathway have been improved in Alberta.
Base streams make up all of Alberta’s other current streams. Candidates must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the province’s AAIP portal in order to apply through one of these streams; they cannot be chosen using the Express Entry system.

When will be the next draw for Alberta PNP?

For its numerous streams, including Alberta Express Entry, Alberta Opportunity Stream, etc., the Alberta PNP normally holds periodic draws throughout the year.

The demands of the employment market and other variables may affect the frequency and magnitude of Alberta PNP draws. The precise date of the following Alberta PNP draws for 2023 cannot, therefore, be predicted.
