- the number of nomination certificates remaining for the year.
Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)
An economic immigration program called the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), formerly known as the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program, selects candidates for Alberta permanent residence. Candidates must have the necessary skills to fill open positions in Alberta or have plans to buy or launch a business there. Additionally, they must be able to support their families. The Canadian and Albertan governments administer the program.
You, your spouse or common-law partner, and any dependent children may apply for permanent residence status if you are nominated under the program.
What are AAIP Streams for workers?
Streams for workers in Alberta under AAIP are:
- Alberta Opportunity Stream
- Alberta Express Entry Stream

Temporary overseas workers who are already employed full-time in Alberta and have a full-time job offer from an Alberta employer in a qualifying occupation are eligible for the Alberta Opportunity Stream.
