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).

  • 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.

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: 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.

However, their occupation must align with Alberta’s economic diversification and growth priorities.

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. To apply through these base streams, candidates must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via the AAIP portal and are not selected through the Express Entry system.

When is the next Alberta PNP DRAW predicted?

Regarding the timing of the next draw for Alberta PNP, it is challenging to predict the precise date as the province conducts periodic draws throughout the year.

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.

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?

Immigrate to Canada from India as an IT and Tech Professional in 2023

The Canadian government provides a variety of immigration alternatives for tech workers who want to move to Canada because the country’s tech sector is expanding rapidly and needs professionals to keep up with demand.

Federal Route to Immigration to Canada

In Canada, immigration refers to securing permanent residence. Because it offers a straight road to permanent residency, aspirants favor Canada. Any prospective applicant who wishes to secure permanent residence in Canada must create an online Express Entry profile. Then, using a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), all the registered profiles are evaluated and ranked by the immigration department of Canada i.e. IRCC.

These profiles are scored out of 1200 possible points, on the basis of the human capital standards of both, the primary and secondary applicants (i.e. spouse), which include:
  • Age,
  • Education,
  • Work Experience (in and outside Canada)
  • Language proficiency in English, or French,
  • Job Offer from Canada
  • Connections in Canada
Both the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) under Canada Express Entry are open to tech employees. Since 2021, the count of profiles invited by Canada to apply for immigration via these programs also increased to the peak seeing the demand.

Up until recently, the FSWP was the primary source of foreign skilled immigrants to Canada without a job offer. Then, IRCC made the decision to concentrate on inviting solely CEC & PNP candidates. Most, CEC profiles were those of recent graduates from overseas institutions who were qualified to apply for permanent residency since they had at least one year of work experience in Canada.


Provincial Immigration Routes for Permanent Residence in Canada

You can apply to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to be eligible for permanent residency after getting provincial nominations from any of the provincial streams listed below. The most popular Canada PR alternatives are the provincial routes.

Provincial candidates who have current Express Entry profiles received an additional 600 points on top of their typical Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score. With this, applicants for Canada permanent residency may be assured a spot in subsequent Express Entry draws that are tailored to the PNP.

These are some well-liked PNPs for tech professionals from other countries who desire to live permanently in Canada:

1. Ontario Human Capital Priorities Stream

For international IT workers without a job offer in Canada, Ontario’s Human Capital Priorities immigration stream is a fantastic choice. Every so often, the stream runs targeted tech draws where they directly invite tech employees from the Express Entry pool.

The difficulty with this stream is that IT employees must first receive an invitation from the government to apply. Every time there is a tech drawing, Ontario chooses a targeted CRS range to decide which candidates will get a Notice of Interest (NOI). Everyone who receives an NOI has 45 days from the date of notification to apply for.

2. British Columbia PNP Tech

Candidates having a job offer from BC in one of 27 prioritized tech occupations can apply more quickly through British Columbia’s PNP Tech program. Tech employees must meet the requirements of one of BC’s skill-based immigration streams to be eligible. This program has the advantage that a Labour Market Impact Assessment is not necessary (LMIA). Instead, the British Columbian government may grant successful candidates a “letter of support” that can be used to apply for a work permit in Canada.

3. Alberta’s accelerated tech pathway

Some computer experts with job offers from Alberta can take advantage of an accelerated route to permanent residency under the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP). Candidates for this program must have an offer of employment in one of the 37 tech-related jobs or with an employer in one of Alberta’s designated tech sectors.

The Express Entry stream in Alberta is how this program is run. To apply for this track, individuals must meet the requirements for AINP’s Express Entry stream.

Like BC, Alberta’s Accelerated Tech Pathway provides letters of support to qualified candidates that can be used to apply for a work permit instead of going through the drawn-out LMIA procedure.


4. Quebec Immigration

The Quebec government introduced a test immigration program that helps some IT employees in April 2021. Under the pilot program, international workers in specific tech fields are allowed to relocate permanently to Quebec. Artificial intelligence Information Technologies and Visual Effects are the two streams of the pilot program.

Two groups of tech experts are the focus of Quebec’s artificial intelligence stream: graduates from Quebec colleges and universities and workers with international training. Although international workers who have appropriate work experience in Quebec are not required to obtain a job offer from Quebec, graduates from Quebec must. Candidates for the stream must also have relevant education that at the very least equates to a bachelor’s degree from Quebec.

The information technology (IT) and visual effects stream seek candidates with backgrounds in one of ten specific professions. Within the last 10 years, at least two years of work experience in this field must have been accomplished. Applicants for this stream must either already be employed in their field in Quebec or have a job offer there. Also, candidates must have completed coursework leading to a Quebec bachelor’s degree or a Quebec certification of technical training. This stream’s eligible professions include:

Both streams demand that candidates be at least 18 years old, want to live and work in Quebec, abide by the terms of their work permit while there, and exhibit financial independence.

Applicants can apply using the “Francization” profile if they do not speak French. Some applicants are required to sign a contract promising to study French once they arrive in Quebec in place of providing proof of their French competence. Immigrants can take advantage of free language classes in Quebec to aid in their integration.

5. Saskatchewan Tech Talent Pathway

A unique provincial pathway for Canada PR for tech talent has just been introduced in Saskatchewan.

Candidates must have at least one year of relevant job experience from the previous five years, or six months of work experience in the province, to be eligible. The Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) scale ranges from 5 to 7 depending on the circumstances.

6. Temporary Tech Pathway (Global Talent Stream)

The Global Talent Stream is a significant temporary route. Eighty percent of applications will be processed through this approach in two weeks or less. Businesses utilize it to quickly hire highly qualified personnel. Employers who meet the requirements can fall under Category A or B.

Companies in Category A are those that are expanding swiftly and want foreign workers with specialized skills. A referral partner must give the go-ahead to a Category A employer. This is typically a local, governmental, or semi-governmental organization whose goal is to promote economic growth in a city or region.

Employers looking for specifically skilled employees that Canada has identified as being in short supply but in demand fall under Category B.


Career Prospects in Canada

Due to a shortage of skilled workers, Canada’s career prospects provide excellent earning potential over the next five to 10 years. Statistics Canada reports that in the third quarter of 2021, there were 912,600 job opportunities across the country, which is a record high. The openings in Canada are broken down by province in the table below.
