Two Alberta PNP (AAIP) draws in January 2023 sent 200 invitations under Express Entry stream.
First Alberta PNP draw on January 19, 2023 invited only 46 Express Entry profiles having a CRS cut-off score for 324 and above.
Second Alberta PNP draw on January 23, 2023 invited 154 Express Entry profiles having a CRS cut-off score of 385.
Express Entry candidates, who successfully receive a nomination from Alberta or any Express Entry aligned PNP, get an additional 600 points towards their overall CRS score. This effectively increase their chances to get an invitation to apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence in subsequent Express Entry- PNP round of invitations.
With Express Entry system shifting more focus towards Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), Alberta Express Entry stream is one of the best options.
- Being eligible for Alberta Express Entry stream does not mean that you will definitely get invitation in a draw.
Following additional factors play a role in whether you will receive a NOI or not:
- Job offer or work experience from an Albertan employer
- Graduate of a Canadian post-secondary institution from Alberta
- Having a parent, child, brother and/or sister who is a permanent resident living in Alberta, or a Canadian citizen living in Alberta
