Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) – Non Express Entry

    • What is Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) – Non-Express Stream

      The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) offers a non-Express Entry stream for individuals who want to immigrate to Alberta, Canada. This stream is designed for those who do not qualify for Express Entry but have the skills and experience needed in Alberta’s labor market. Here’s an overview of the non-Express Entry process for Alberta:

      • – Eligibility Criteria: To be eligible for the AINP non-Express Entry stream, applicants must meet specific criteria set by the province of Alberta. These criteria typically include factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, and ties to Alberta.

      • – Occupation in Demand List: Alberta maintains a list of occupations that are in demand in the province. Applicants may need to have work experience in one of these occupations to be eligible for the program.

      • – Expression of Interest (EOI): The first step in applying for the AINP non-Express Entry stream is to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile online through the Alberta Immigration Portal. The EOI includes information about the applicant’s education, work experience, language proficiency, and other relevant details.

      • – Invitation to Apply (ITA): Based on the information provided in the EOI profile and the current needs of Alberta’s labor market, eligible candidates may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for provincial nomination from the Alberta government.

      • – Nomination: Once an ITA is received, applicants have a specified time frame to submit a complete application to the AINP. If the application is approved, the applicant will receive a provincial nomination certificate from Alberta.

      • – Federal Application: With the provincial nomination certificate, the applicant can then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence. The federal government will assess the application based on admissibility requirements, such as health, security, and background checks.

      • – Permanent Residence: If the federal application is approved, the applicant and their family members (if applicable) will be granted permanent residence in Canada.

      It’s important to note that the specific requirements and processes may vary over time, so applicants should always check the most up-to-date information on the Alberta government’s official website.
