ALBERTA OCCUPATIONS IN DEMAND

Alberta Advantage Immigrant Program (AAIP) is an immigration program that nominates people for permanent residency in Alberta for which they must hold certain skills that are in demand in the province. Following are the streams under this program:

Opportunity stream
Alberta Express Entry
International Graduate Entrepreneur
Self-employed farmer stream
Foreign graduate start-up Visa stream

Let’s discuss each stream in-depth:

Opportunity Stream: The foreign nationals who are already working full-time in Alberta on a temporary basis and who hold an official offer of employment in an eligible occupation are targeted under this stream. In order to be eligible for this stream, the candidate needs to meet certain criteria as specified under this stream.

Alberta Express Entry Stream: The candidates who have active profiles in the federal Express Entry system are offered provincial nomination under this stream by Alberta. In addition, individuals who have strong links to Alberta and can contribute to the economic development are preferred over others. After the candidates receive a provincial nomination through this stream under Express Entry, they are automatically given 600 points in their CRS Score which guarantees their ITA i.e., Invitation to Apply(ITA) for Canada PR in the consequent Express Entry draw.

AAIP Self-Employed Farmer Stream: The foreign nationals who have extensive experience in owning and operating in a farm holding some required financial resources to launch a new farming operation in Alberta are targeted under this stream. In order to be considered for this stream, the candidates need to submit a detailed proposal under which they must outline their plan in depth.

International Graduate Entrepreneur: This program is a pathway to PR for International graduates who are from Alberta’s post-secondary institutions and wants to start a business in the province. It uses a points-based EOI to rank the applicants. Those candidates who will receive maximum points will be invited to submit a detailed application of their business. Applicants who will be successful will be issued a nomination for permanent residency by the province.

Foreign Graduate Start-Up Visa: Individuals who have completed an international post-secondary credential and have aim to start and operate a business in Alberta are targeted under this stream. In order to be eligible for this stream, candidates need to meet certain criteria. On successful submission of their profile, they will receive the invitation to apply for their permanent residency if they are meeting all the necessary requirements.
Apart from the above-mentioned stream, there used to be two more streams which are now closed by the province. The following are the same:

AINP Strategic Recruitment Stream
AINP Employer-Driven Stream
