Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)

In one of Canada's fastest-growing provinces, professionals are attracted by the vast job market and stunning scenery.

​

Alberta is one of the fastest-growing provinces of Canada, located in Western Canada. It attracts skilled professionals with the promise of a stunning landscape and a prosperous job market. Out of all three Prairie provinces in Canada, Alberta is indeed the most attractive, as is the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP). 

Program Overview

Alberta is home to breathtaking and lush prairies, glacial lakes, and snow-covered mountains, while its diverse terrain also includes scenic boreal forests and desert lands. The province boasts a dynamic portfolio of natural resources, including oil, coal, natural gas, minerals, and the famed oil sands that make Alberta Canada’s energy-rich region. 

​

The province is also home to the metropolises of Calgary and Edmonton that command immense prestige in Canada’s job market. The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is one of the most lucrative Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) to seek permanent residence in Canada. 

​

Applicants who appeal to the criterion of the province receive a nomination certificate through the AAIP. This nomination certification aids the applicant and family members to apply for permanent residence in Canada through the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

What is AAIP?

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is a program design to overcome the shortages of skilled labor in the province. This program aims to attract skilled and experienced professionals and workers who prove to be a good fit for Alberta’s labor market.

 

The Alberta PNP program is run by the Alberta government, which collaborates with federal immigration authorities at the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Applicants are required to undertake a two-pronged process:

How Does the Alberta PNP Work?

  • Job Prospects
    There is a difference between getting hired for a full-time dream job after completing your studies and working part-time to support your living while you are studying. When it comes to looking for a full-time job while you have completed your international programme, you would definitely want to experience the foreign industry. To be eligible for working after your graduation, you must apply for a work permit under the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program. It issues a work permit to students to foreign post-secondary students who wish to remain temporarily in Canada after graduation to work in their field of study.
  • Work Visa
    A visa giving one the ability to take a job in a country other than the one in which one is a citizen. There are different types of work visas. One kind may require the holder to have a local employer as a sponsor, and to return home if he/she loses the job. Another visa may be more general and may allow the holder to work at any job for a certain period of time. Work visas are generally temporary, though most may be renewed.
