Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) Overview
The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is a collaborative effort between the Alberta and Canadian governments, aimed at nominating individuals with skills to address job shortages or establish businesses in Alberta. Successful nominees, along with their families, can apply for permanent residence status managed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. MAPDAT offers expert guidance to ensure a smooth application processing. Whether you’re seeking to fill a job shortage, start a business, or secure permanent residency in Alberta, our assistance can streamline your journey.
Alberta Employment Opportunities
The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) offers three distinct streams for foreign workers either living and working in Alberta or intending to do so:
Alberta Opportunity Stream: This stream is open to qualified candidates who are currently employed in Alberta and possess a job offer from an Alberta-based employer. Successful applicants can apply for an AAIP nomination through this route.
Alberta Express Entry Stream: Qualified candidates with profiles in the federal Express Entry pool, aligned with specific criteria and provincial economic priorities, may receive invitations to apply for nomination under this stream. It also includes specialized pathways for healthcare professionals and technology workers.
Rural Renewal Stream: Communities seeking designation can recruit and endorse qualified candidates under this stream. Temporary foreign workers with job offers from employers in designated communities, along with an endorsement letter from the community, are eligible to apply for an AAIP nomination. Additionally, communities can endorse eligible refugees under the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) with the assistance of non-governmental referral partners.
Alberta Entrepreneurial Opportunities
The AAIP offers four distinct streams for entrepreneurs aspiring to reside in Alberta and establish or acquire businesses within the province:
