Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)

Provincial Nominee Candidate eligibility

The Alberta Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is an employer driven program. An Application for Provincial Nomination (ABPNP 003) is required for a Skilled Worker to be considered for a nomination to become a permanent resident. Provincial Nominee Candidates must meet the following:

  • Provincial Nominee Candidate has accepted an offer of permanent, full-time employment from an Alberta employer.
     
  • Provincial Nominee Candidate must ensure that the Employer and Worker Application for a Skilled Occupation (ABPNP 005) has been completed together with their employer.
     
  • Provincial Nominee Candidate must also include a photocopy of their completed permanent residence application forms.
     
  • Provincial Nominee Candidate must be able to provide evidence to demonstrate that he or she meets the required qualifications for the job, which includes meeting provincial regulations and industry standards.
     
  • Provincial Nominee Candidate must provide proof of current status in Canada. Provincial Nominee Candidates may apply from outside of Canada if they are able to provide proof of their legal status in their country of residence.

Note: Individuals are not eligible to apply to the Alberta PNP if they are currently a refugee claimant living in Canada. It is not the mandate of the Alberta PNP to interfere with the federal refugee claim, appeal or removal process.
