Alberta Advantage Pilot Program (AAIP)
The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is designed to support economic growth by nominating individuals for permanent residency in Alberta.
To qualify, applicants must either possess skills that address local job shortages or plan to start or buy a business in Alberta. They must also demonstrate their ability to support their families. This program is a partnership between the governments of Alberta and Canada.
Nominees, along with their spouse or common-law partner and dependent children, are eligible to apply for permanent residency.
Alberta issues nomination certificates to enhance Express Entry profiles, while Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) oversees the permanent residency applications and makes the final decisions.
AAIP caters to skilled workers and entrepreneurs, offering various application streams based on individual profiles.Program Streams
