Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program

Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)

Alberta is a province with great communities, a large job market and beautiful landscapes. The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program supports the immigration of skilled workers such as company managers, food and hospitality workers, farmers and truckers.

Once nominated by the Province of Alberta, an individual, their spouse and dependent children are eligible for an expedited permanent residence visa.
