Alberta invited 401 Express Entry candidates in its Last two AINP Draws

Alberta issued invitations to 401 express entry candidates through its Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program in its last two draws of October to apply for a provincial nomination for Canada permanent residence.

In its recent AINP draw held on October 24, the province issued invitations to 372 candidates with a profile in the Federal Express Entry System that operates the pool of candidates for the three main economic immigration categories – the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class, and the Canadian Experience Class. Like other Canadian provinces, Alberta has its own provincial nominee program to invite a set number of candidates for Canada permanent residence every year. Every provincial nominee program has sub-stream that select the candidates from the Express Entry pool who have required skills and meet the economic needs.

Express Entry candidates who receive a provincial nomination get additional 600 points in their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score and their chances to get invitation to apply for Canadian permanent residence in the upcoming express entry pool draw. Express Entry candidates who received invitation by AINP in October 24 draw had CRS score as low as 300 and in the other October 30 Draw, 29 invitations given to candidates with CRS above 350.

To get a provincial nomination through the Alberta Express Entry System, applicants must be eligible to apply in any of the three Express Entry programs and must have a valid profile in the Express Entry pool.

Alberta Express Entry Stream eligibility

The province may choose profiles from the Express Entry pool who has strong ties to Alberta or who are capable to support the province’s economic development and diversification objectives. Selected candidates will then be invited to apply for a provincial nomination through the Alberta Express Entry Stream which comes under Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP).

There is no demand for a Job offer in Alberta but candidates who have an Alberta job offer/work experience, or are graduated from Canadian post-secondary institutions, or relatives living in Australia are considered on priority.
