Alberta Express Entry Stream | An Important Update <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are multiple streams under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP). For instance, the Alberta Opportunity Stream is for foreign workers, Graduate Entrepreneur Stream for entrepreneurs and so on. The eligibility criteria hasn’t changed for any other stream under the AAIP. It impacts only the selection criteria of the Alberta Express Entry stream which targets foreign workers. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Outcome of the program update? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Alberta Express Entry stream can now allocate about 25% of its NOIs to candidates with experience in specific occupations and immediate family relatives in Alberta. This can encourage and help more immigrants to settle in Alberta successfully. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The change in selection criteria can help Alberta address its labour shortage issues. There is a hige rate of job vacancies in Alberta due to which newcomers are all the more encouraged to settle here. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The new program update, however, led to massive growth in 2022. The private sector, for instance, added about 41,000 new jobs in the private sector. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
