Latest Alberta Express Entry Draw Details

The Alberta Immigrant Nominee (A.I.N.P) Program invited a total of 150 candidates in the Express Entry pool with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 300.

Immigration applicants don't necessarily require having employment offers in the province of Alberta in order to get an invitation to apply for an Alberta provincial nomination by the Stream of Alberta Express Entry. However, they did require having profiles in the pool of federal Express Entry.

Express Entry handles applications for 3 Canadian principal economic class programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program; and the Federal Skilled Trades Program; and the Canadian Experience Class.

Applicants who are qualified for Express Entry are provided with a rank based on several human capital factors such as educational background, work experience, age, and official language proficiency. They are then assigned with a CRS score. The best candidates who secure high scores are chosen to obtain an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canada PR in general Express Entry draws.

Express Entry applicants with Alberta provincial nomination will receive additional 600 CRS points by default toward their cumulative CRS score.

The extra points effectively ensure that they will get an invitation to apply for Canadian PR. If a contestant in the Express Entry pool with 300 CRS points receives a provincial nomination then their updated CRS score will be 900 CRS points, which is high enough to be eligible for an ITA in a consequent Express Entry draw. To obtain an ITA in the most recent federal Express Entry draw, applicants required a CRS of 471 score points.
