Alberta Advantage Immigration Program

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is a provincial immigration initiative by the Government of Alberta to nominate skilled workers for permanent residence in Canada. It comprises multiple streams designed to match different profiles, including Express Entry-aligned pathways, a provincial Opportunity Stream for workers in Alberta, and Rural Renewal options. The program aims to address labor market needs in Alberta by inviting qualified applicants who meet its criteria to apply for provincial nomination.

Provincial nomination leading to permanent residence in Canada; potential expedited processing within the Express Entry system depending on the stream and CRS considerations.

Eligible candidates are skilled workers who have either an active Express Entry profile or a valid job offer in Alberta, and who meet the specific stream requirements and language/education/experience criteria.

Identify the suitable AAIP stream, satisfy eligibility, and submit with required documents through the Alberta government channels; follow stream-specific steps for nomination and federal permanent residence application.
