Alberta invited Express Entry candidates with CRS 302 this month

Alberta conducted two draws under its Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) so far in this month and invited express entry candidates with CRS as low as 302 in one of the draws. First draw held September 11 and the Second draw held September 18 conducted through the Alberta Express Entry System and insights were disclosed this week.

Alberta Express Entry Stream allows the AINP to search eligible candidates in the Express Entry system who are working in an occupation which is in demand in the province and helpful in enhancing the economy of the province or who have strong ties to the province. Also, candidates don’t have a requirement of a job offer in Alberta, but having one can increase your chances of being invited. Notification of Interest (NOI) is issued to the selected candidates from the AINP and is invited to apply for a provincial nomination for permanent residence status in Canada.

Having provincial nomination adds 600 points towards the CRS score of an express entry candidate, assuring chances to get an invitation to apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence in following Express entry invitation draws. In the September 18 draw, Alberta invited 139 candidates with CRS 350 to apply. A total of 139 NOIs were issued to Express Entry candidates with CRS 350.
