Alberta advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) 2024

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program helps nominate skilled workers or entrepreneurs for permanent residency in Alberta. The program is managed by the Alberta and Canadian governments to ensure nominees can support their families. Permanent residency can be applied for alongside spouses or dependent children, with final decisions made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

AAIP has four streams for foreign workers in Alberta or those planning to work and live here.

Alberta Express Entry Stream

Qualified candidates in the Express Entry pool may be invited to apply for nomination through AAIP if they meet requirements and align with provincial priorities. There are specific pathways for healthcare professionals and tech workers to improve their selection chances.

Alberta Opportunity Stream

The Alberta Opportunity Stream is tailored for temporary foreign workers currently employed full-time in Alberta with an offer of full-time work from a qualifying employer in Alberta. Applicants must possess a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a recognized LMIA exemption work permit, along with fulfilling eligibility criteria relating to residency, occupation, work permit type, language proficiency, education, work experience, and an Alberta job offer

Rural Renewal Stream

Communities in Alberta must apply for designation before endorsing qualified candidates. This allows them to support temporary foreign workers with job offers from Alberta employers and endorse refugees through the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot with the assistance of non-governmental referral partners.
