The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) for Alberta is an immigration program that allows the province to nominate individuals who have the skills and experience required to meet the economic needs of Alberta. The program is designed to attract and retain skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international graduates who can contribute to the province’s economy and community.
The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) is the specific PNP for the province of Alberta. It operates through different streams, each with its own set of criteria and requirements. The following are some of the key streams under the AINP:
  1. Alberta Opportunity Stream (AOS): This stream is designed for individuals who are working in Alberta in an eligible occupation and meet the specific criteria related to their work experience, education, language proficiency, and settlement funds.
  2. Alberta Express Entry Stream: This stream is aligned with the federal Express Entry system, which manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. To be eligible, individuals must have an active Express Entry profile and meet the eligibility criteria of either the Alberta Opportunity Stream or the Alberta Express Entry Stream.
  3. Self-Employed Farmer Stream: This stream is for individuals with farming experience and sufficient financial resources to establish a farming business in Alberta. Applicants must have a business plan and meet the requirements related to farm management skills, investment, and experience in operating a farm.
The AINP also has other specialized streams, such as the Alberta Post-Graduate Worker Category and the Alberta Family Stream, which allow certain individuals to apply for nomination if they meet specific criteria related to their education, work experience, and family connections in Alberta.
It’s important to note that the AINP has its own application process and criteria separate from the federal immigration programs. If nominated through the AINP, individuals can then apply for permanent residence to the federal government.
