Alberta Express Entry Stream
Alberta Express Entry Stream – Qualified candidates may be invited to apply for nomination who have profiles in the IRCC's Express Entry pool that are aligned with minimum requirements, and provincial economic, sector and occupational priorities. There are also dedicated pathways operated in this stream for health care professionals, technology workers and police occupations.
Rural Renewal Stream
Rural Renewal Stream – Communities must apply for and become designated before they can recruit and endorse qualified candidates. Temporary foreign workers who have a job offer from an Alberta employer in a designated community, and an endorsement letter from a designated community, can then apply for an AAIP nomination. Communities can also endorse refugees who qualify under the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) with the support of a non-governmental referral partner. Referral partners help EMPP candidates with the AAIP application process.
