Alberta Invited 201 Immigrants to the latest AAIP Draws

Alberta released the information regarding the draw held by the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) on August 3, 2023, which is part of the Alberta Express Entry Stream. In this draw, a total of 201 skilled immigrants received invitations to apply for the Canadian Permanent Residence visa. The specifics of the draw encompass the count of invitations issued and the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores that were necessitated.
  • Date of Draw: August 3, 2023
  • Criteria: Family connection and primary occupation in demand
  • Invitations Issued: 201
  • CRS score range: 300-500
  • Minimum CRS Score: 315
What is the eligibility criteria to apply for Alberta PNP?

To be considered for a Notification of Interest or the Accelerated Tech Pathway through the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AAIP), you should:
  • Have an active profile in the federal Express Entry pool.
  • Qualify for at least one of the federal immigration programs managed by Express Entry:
  1. Canadian Experience Class
  2. Federal Skilled Trades Program
  3. Federal Skilled Worker Program
  • Your main occupation in your Express Entry profile should be in demand, connected to a specific Express Entry stream, or linked to a provincial economic or sector priority.
  • Intend to live and work permanently in Alberta and show interest in moving there.
  • Score at least 300 points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).
  • Your main occupation should not be on the Alberta Opportunity Stream Ineligible Occupations list.
  • The volume of applications for your occupation should align with provincial immigration goals.
  • You must not be a refugee claimant or involved in a federal appeal or removal process. AAIP cannot influence these processes.
  • You shouldn’t have an active nomination under any AAIP stream. An active nomination is one that hasn’t expired or is eligible for an extension or a nomination used for a pending permanent residence application.
  • You must not be ineligible for AAIP re-application due to misrepresentation.

In simpler terms, if you want to be considered for Alberta immigration through AAIP, ensure you meet these requirements based on your Express Entry profile and occupation, your intention to settle in Alberta, your CRS score, and your immigration status.

The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AAIP) evaluates candidates in the federal Express Entry pool and conducts draws based on profile information, inviting them to apply.

In 2023, selection will be divided as follows: 25% for high-demand occupations with family ties, 50% for sectors like healthcare and construction (favoring Alberta job offers), and 25% for the Accelerated Tech Pathway.

On August 2, 2023, the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) released information about two draws that took place on August 1, 2023, and July 18, 2023, respectively. These draws were conducted under the Alberta Express Entry Stream and resulted in a total of 57 skilled immigrants being invited to apply for permanent residence visas in Canada.

The draws specified the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores required for eligibility.

Draw 3:
  • Date of Draw: August 1, 2023
  • Criteria: Priority sector – Agriculture occupation with Alberta job offer
  • Invitations Issued: 32
  • CRS score range: 300-500
  • Minimum CRS Score: 322
Draw 2:
  • Date of Draw: August 1, 2023
  • Criteria: Priority sector – Dedicated Healthcare Pathway, Alberta job offer
  • Invitations Issued: 11
  • CRS score range: 300 and above
  • Minimum CRS Score: 317
Draw 1:
  • Date of Draw: July 18, 2023
  • Criteria: Priority sector – Dedicated Healthcare Pathway, Alberta job offer
  • Invitations Issued: 14
  • CRS score range: 300 and above
  • Minimum CRS Score: 311

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), formerly known as the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program, aims to invite immigrants who possess the necessary qualifications and work experience to settle in Alberta, Canada.

For skilled workers, there are two specific streams available: 

Alberta Opportunity Stream: This stream is open to qualified individuals already employed in Alberta and foreign graduates who have completed their studies at a recognized post-secondary institution in the province. The program encourages student applicants whose training and employment skills align with Alberta’s current labor market demands to apply.

Alberta General Express Entry Stream: Candidates enrolled in the Express Entry program with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 300 can apply through this stream. However, their occupation must align with Alberta’s economic diversification and growth priorities. If recommended by Alberta, they receive an additional 600 CRS points, significantly increasing their chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence in a subsequent Express Entry draw.

To apply for the Alberta Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), applicants must determine the appropriate stream based on eligibility criteria. Those eligible for the federal Express Entry program can also be considered for enhanced streams. If the Alberta government expresses interest in their profile, applicants respond to the Notification of Interest and submit an application through the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) website.

The two improved streams in Alberta are the Alberta Express Entry stream and the Alberta Accelerated Tech Pathway. Other streams fall under the base streams category, and candidates must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via the AAIP portal without being selected through the Express Entry system.

When is the next Alberta PNP draw predicted?

As for the timing of the next draw for Alberta PNP, it is challenging to predict the exact date, as the province conducts periodic draws based on labor market demands and various factors. As of now, the specific date of the upcoming Alberta PNP draws in 2023 remains unknown.

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 labor 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.

How to get ITA through Alberta Express Entry Stream?

Determine your eligibility: Review the eligibility requirements for the Alberta Express Entry streams. Each stream has specific criteria for education, work experience, language proficiency, and other factors.

Create an Express Entry profile: If you meet the eligibility criteria for an Alberta PNP stream, you must create an Express Entry profile on the Government of Canada’s official website. Provide accurate information about your qualifications, work experience, language skills, and other relevant details.

Complete the AINP profile: Once you have an Express Entry profile, you must create a profile with the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program. This profile will be linked to your Express Entry profile.

Please wait for a Notification of Interest (NOI): Alberta regularly reviews the Express Entry pool and may issue Notifications of Interest to candidates who meet their specific selection criteria. If you receive an NOI, it means Alberta is interested in your application and you may be invited to apply for a provincial nomination.

Apply: If you receive an invitation to apply (ITA) from Alberta, you will have a specific timeframe to submit your complete application. Follow the instructions provided by the AINP and submit all the required documents, such as proof of education, work experience, language proficiency, and other supporting documents.

Wait for the nomination: After submitting your application, the AINP will assess it and make a decision. If your application is approved, you will receive a provincial nomination certificate from Alberta.

Update your Express Entry profile: Once you obtain a provincial nomination, update your Express Entry profile to reflect this nomination. This will give you additional points under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS).

Receive an invitation to apply for permanent residence: With a provincial nomination, you will have an improved CRS score, increasing your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency in Canada through the federal Express Entry draw.

What is the limit of 2023 for Alberta PNP Draw/Nomination?

Citizenship Immigration Canada sets the Alberta PNP Draw limit, which is subject to adjustment in response to changes in the work market and other considerations. The frequency and amount of draws may also change depending on the demand and availability of nominations in the various AINP streams.

2023, as of June 12, 2023. The cap on nominations for the Alberta PNP in 2023 is 9750. And so far in 2023, 4583 nomination certificates have been issued.

AAIP makes it easier for the in-demand workers to get Canada PR

Alterations to make it simpler for in-demand workers and entrepreneur to get Canada permanent residence.

1. Dedicated Healthcare Pathway

  • In 2023, this pathway, which is part of the Alberta Express Entry Stream, will consume up to 30% of the Express Entry allocations available.
  • Professionals in the following fields are qualified: doctors, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, physician assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and clinical social workers.
  • In order to be able to practice medicine in Alberta, qualified healthcare professionals must have a job offer from an employer working in the province's healthcare industry and must possess verifiable documentation of their compliance with the regulatory body's minimum standards.

2. AAIP Rural Entrepreneur Stream – Minimum Investment Criteria

The necessary minimum investment for applications has been lowered from $200,000 to $100,000, making it more competitive with other entrepreneur streams.


3. AAIP Rural Renewal Stream – The Community Designation Application Procedure has been modified to remove the Settlement Organization Endorsement Letter

  • The removal of this step simplifies the application procedure for community designation.
  • To demonstrate that sufficient resources are in place to successfully welcome immigrants, communities must still prepare a settlement plan as part of the designation application process.

4. Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP)

  • The EMPP will now include the AAIP as a participant.
  • The EMPP was created to facilitate the immigration of refugees through current economic programs who possess the skills and credentials required in Canada.
  • The AAIP is collaborating with the federal government to carry out the pilot and expand its annual nominations using this exceptional chance.
  • More information regarding implementation will be made available in the upcoming months.
