Alberta’s provincial government doubles the total number of invitations and drops the CRS requirement in the latest PNP draw
After a long gap, the provincial nominee program of Alberta, profoundly known as the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) has released the details of the second draw in the month of January.
On January 28, the AINP has issued a total of 100 invitations to the Express Entry applicants, who have scores equivalent to minimum 360 points on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). These invited applicants are now allowed to apply for the provincial nomination program under the Alberta Express Entry Stream.
The first and foremost step to become eligible for the provincial nomination under this Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is to enter into the Express Entry Pool.
Express Entry System is the main application management system of Canada for the three renowned Federal High Skilled Immigration streams, which includes the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class and the Federal Skilled Trades Program.
Eligible immigration applicants are given a score point on the basis of the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). These points are awarded to the candidates for human capital factors which the government has determined and assists the prospective candidates that have applied for immigration to succeed in the Canadian labour market. These factors include the applicant’s age, education, and employment experience, language proficiency in English and French, along with others.
In a gap of every weeks, the immigration department of Canada, IRCC, holds Express Entry Draw, thereby inviting applicants to apply for immigration to Canada. All the highest scoring candidates receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the permanent residence of Canada. If they get approved, then they receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence Visa which then enables them to proceed towards the final step and make their landing in Canada, after which they become the official permanent residents of Canada.
If the applicants who receive an invitation to apply from the provincial government of Alberta receive the provincial nomination, they automatically get awarded with 600 additional CRS points towards their existing scores in the EOI. Given that majority of the Express Entry draws have a minimum CRS cut-off requirement of 400 points, the additional points added in their profile therefore effectively guarantees that the selected provincial nominees will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the subsequent Express Entry round of invitation released by the Federal Government of Canada.
Alberta Express Entry Stream
Applicants that are already in the Express Entry Pool have the opportunity to receive an invitation from the Provincial Nomination from Alberta; along with other provinces which are Express Entry aligned PNPs. These candidates are required to have the valid work experience in one of the eligible occupations that helps in supporting the economic development of the country.
The provincial government of Alberta was allowed to issue a total of 6,250 nomination certificates in the year 2020. However, due to the restrictions imposed amidst pandemic situation, the same was reduced to 4,000 nominations. All of these nominations were issued until June 2020 and therefore no draws released by the AINP in the second half of the year.
The total number of provincial nominations that were allocated to AINP for the year 2021 are yet to be disclosed.
