About the AAIP Nomination certificate limits
The figures below are correct as of October 11, 2023. Each year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) sets the maximum number of nomination certificates that the AAIP may issue. In 2023, AAIP will be able to award 9,750 nomination certificates, divided between Express Entry and non-Express Entry pathways (which could change over the year). In 2024 and 2025, nominal rises of more than 10,000 nomination allocations per year are intended.
These AAIP programs are subject to change at any time and without notice. They are partly determined by changing application levels and how nomination allocations are projected to be used in 2023.
AAIP application processing times
Depending on the stream/pathway the processing time may vary. The following tables show the approximate volumes, processing times, and assessment dates for each AAIP stream or pathway:
- Alberta Opportunity Stream – Approximately 4 months.
- Alberta Express Entry Stream – Accelerated Tech Pathway- Approximately 1 month.
- Dedicated Healthcare Pathway- Approximately 1 month.
