About AAIP (Alberta Advantage Immigration Program)
The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is Alberta's provincial nominee program designed to attract workers with the skills and experience needed by Alberta employers. It includes the Alberta Express Entry stream, Alberta Opportunity stream, and the Rural Renewal stream. AAIP supports Alberta's economic growth by nominating candidates who can contribute to priority sectors.
A provincial nomination through AAIP (Alberta Advantage Immigration Program) adds 600 CRS points to your Express Entry profile (for Express Entry-aligned streams), virtually guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence. Non-Express Entry streams follow a separate application process directly through the province.
AAIP (Alberta Advantage Immigration Program) Draw FAQs
What is an AAIP draw?
An AAIP draw is a selection round where Alberta invites candidates from its Expression of Interest pool to apply for provincial nomination. The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program targets candidates whose skills align with Alberta's labour market needs.
How often does AAIP conduct draws?
AAIP typically conducts draws every 2-4 weeks, though the frequency can vary. The Alberta Express Entry stream and the Alberta Opportunity stream may have different draw schedules.
What is the Alberta Express Entry stream?
The Alberta Express Entry stream allows AAIP to select candidates directly from the federal Express Entry pool. Selected candidates receive a Notification of Interest (NOI) from Alberta and, if nominated, gain 600 additional CRS points.
Do I need a job offer for AAIP?
It depends on the stream. The Alberta Opportunity stream requires candidates to be working in Alberta or have a job offer from an Alberta employer. The Alberta Express Entry stream does not always require a job offer but having one can improve your chances of being selected.
What is the Alberta Opportunity stream?
The Alberta Opportunity stream targets candidates who are currently working in Alberta or who have a job offer from an Alberta employer. It is a non-Express Entry pathway and has its own set of eligibility criteria including work experience, language, and education requirements.
