What is Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)?

Formerly The Alberta Immigration Nominee program, The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program is a provincial immigration program in Alberta, Canada. The program is designed to attract and retain skilled workers and entrepreneurs who can contribute to the province’s economic growth and help address its labour market needs.

Under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program, individuals who have the skills, experience, and education required by Alberta’s labour market can apply for a nomination from the province. If they are successful, they will receive a nomination certificate, which they can use to apply for permanent residency through the Federal Government of Canada. Alberta also sends notification of interests to workers with active Express Entry profiles, who are either already working in Alberta or are potentially interested in moving to Alberta.

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program has several streams, including the Alberta Express Entry Stream, the Alberta Opportunity Stream, Rural Renewal stream and the Alberta Self-Employed Farmer Stream, among others. Each stream has specific eligibility criteria, and applicants must meet these criteria to be considered for nomination.
