Alberta PNP Occupations in Demand for 2021

Why do immigrants love Alberta?

Alberta is one of the easiest provinces in Canada for people in any occupation to get PR. Skilled workers and young professionals from different backgrounds can apply for Alberta Immigration Nominee Program (AINP) and get entry into Canada as a permanent resident with a CRS score as low as 300s in the Express Entry pool. Calgary in Alberta was ranked as the fifth most livable city in the Global Livability Ranking 2019. It scored 97.5 out of 100 based on criteria like education, healthcare, infrastructure, culture and environment, and stability. The fact that there is no provincial tax in Alberta is a bonus for the immigrants. A strong housing market and a steady demand for workers across a range of job sectors are some of the other reasons why skilled workers love migrating to Alberta.

What is the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program or AINP?

AINP is the provincial nomination program for skilled workers. It is jointly run by the federal government of Canada and the provincial government of Alberta. Canada PR desirees can apply for nomination by the Alberta government and if they have the required skills, they might get invited to live and work in the province.

Once applicants receive their Nomination Certificate, they can apply for Canada PR through the Express Entry system at IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada). The three categories under which these nominations are offered are:

Alberta Express Entry Stream for PNP
Alberta Opportunity Stream for PNP
Self-Employed Farmer Stream for PNP

Sometimes, other categories are also introduced to the Alberta immigration program. Our Visa2Immigration Alberta immigration experts can tell you more about it. You can contact them at info@visa2immigration.com.
