Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Canada’s immigration framework places significant importance on the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), granting individual provinces and territories the authority to select individuals who can contribute to the enhancement of their local communities. This summary outlines the results of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws conducted during the second week of October 2023.
Provincial Nominee Programs allow provinces in Canada to establish their specific criteria for various immigration pathways. Except for Quebec and Nunavut, each province in Canada operates distinct nominee programs tailored to their unique needs. These programs often target international graduates, entrepreneurs, and individuals with professional experience in different occupations. The selection criteria can vary depending on factors such as labour market demands and demographic gaps within the province.
For instance, Ontario’s French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream aims to attract skilled workers proficient in French to bolster the Francophone population. Immigration through Provincial Nominee Programs contributes significantly to Canada’s overall economic immigration numbers. In 2022, out of a quarter of a million economic immigrants targeted, approximately 83,500 spots were reserved for applicants applying through the Provincial Nominee Program.
Numerous Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) conduct draws where they invite candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residence nomination. Some PNPs require candidates to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) profile to be eligible for these draws. In contrast, certain programs directly invite candidates from the Express Entry pool, even if they haven’t formally applied for consideration.
The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program regularly reviews potential candidates within the federal Express Entry pool. Based on the information available in their profiles in the portal, the AAIP conducts draws to select candidates from the pool, inviting them to submit a complete application to the AAIP. Detailed information regarding the eligibility criteria for the Alberta Express Entry Stream Notification of Interest factors is available on the Eligibility Page of the province’s official website. Candidates under the Accelerated Tech Pathway are invited to apply based on the results of the review of their Accelerated Tech Pathway form.
For the year 2023, the Alberta Express Entry Stream selection process will adhere to the following parameters:
