Provincial Nominee Programs
It’s important to note that each province in Canada, such as Alberta, has its own unique Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) for immigration. These programs have specific requirements that must be met in order to apply, and the application process can vary depending on the program you intend to apply to.
For example, some programs may require you to apply online through the Express Entry system, while others may require a traditional paper application. It’s essential to carefully review the requirements and application process for the specific program you wish to apply to in order to ensure that your application is complete and meets all necessary criteria.

AINP (Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program)
The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) offers various options for skilled and semi-skilled workers who wish to immigrate to Alberta, Canada. In recent years, the AINP has undergone some changes to simplify the process. Now, the AINP includes two primary streams: the Employer Driven stream and the Strategic Recruitment stream.
As a result of these changes, several new programs have emerged, such as the Alberta Opportunity Stream (AOS), Alberta Express Entry, and other programs designed for students and entrepreneurs. It can be challenging to navigate the different application processes and understand which stream is right for you.
At Fortune Law Group, our team of experienced immigration lawyers can help you understand the different streams and guide you through the application process, whether it’s a direct or indirect application.

Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) Requirements
Each provincial program has a myriad of requirements that must be met for eligibility. For instance, if you are interested in applying for the Alberta Opportunity Stream, you will need to fulfill certain criteria before being considered.
These criteria may include your current immigration status in Canada, and whether you hold a work permit, study permit, or visitor status. Additionally, your proficiency in English or French will be assessed, along with your work experience, which may include both national and international experience in either high-skilled or low-skilled work. It’s important to carefully review the specific requirements of each program to determine if you are eligible and to maximize your chances of success.
After you Meet the Provincial Nominee Program Requirements
Once you have met all the necessary requirements for your chosen Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), you should receive a Provincial Nomination. This will enable you to apply for permanent residency either through the Provincial Nominee Class or the Express Entry system, but it’s important to note that not everyone is eligible for Express Entry.
To ensure that your application for permanent residency is successful, it is recommended that you engage the services of experienced immigration lawyers who specialize in Immigrant Nominee Programs. They can guide you through the complex application process and provide valuable insights on how to maximize your chances of success.
TIP: Your nomination will only be valid for the next six months. So, make sure to apply as soon as you can and renew your current work permit.
