Alberta

 

On November 22, 2022, Alberta published the update considering the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) inventory. According to the new update, there were around 970 Alberta Opportunity Stream applications and 290 Expressions of Interest in the Alberta Express Entry pool. 

 

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) allocated a quota of 6,250 nominations to Alberta in 2021 under the AAIP, and the AAIP issued all 6,250 certificates last year. For 2022, IRCC provided 6,500 nominations for the AAIP. This year, Alberta nominated 6,084 applicants and invited 2,320 candidates.

 

The following are the main variables taken into consideration when processing the AAIP applications:

  • application excellence (completeness, eligibility, outdated application information or documents)
  • applications received in large numbers
  • strategic priorities informed by data on the labor market and economic development, as of the date the application was received
  • how many nomination certificates are still valid for the year

 

Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)

An economic immigration scheme called the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), formerly known as the AINProgram, selects individuals for Alberta permanent residence. Candidates must have the necessary abilities to fill open positions there or have plans to buy or launch a business there. Additionally, they must be able to support their families. The Canadian and Albertian governments oversee the initiative.

 

You, your spouse or common-law partner, and any dependent children may apply for permanent residence status if you are nominated under the program.

 

Applications for permanent residence are handled by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. Final judgments on these applications are likewise rendered by the federal government.
