Dear future neighbour,

On September 30, 2024, the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) will revamp its selection process by implementing a new Expression of Interest (EOI) system.

Once you submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), you’ll be placed into a selection pool, much like the Express Entry system. The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) will regularly pick candidates from this pool, choosing those with the best scores and who fit the province’s job market needs to apply for immigration.

See below key features of the New EOI System

  1. Continuous Intake: Unlike the current system with fixed application dates and quotas, the new EOI system allows for continuous submissions and processing of EOIs.
    • Candidates can express their interest at any time without waiting for specific dates.
  2. Ranking and Selection: Candidates are ranked based on various factors, including skills, work experience, and their potential to meet province’s economic needs.
    • Higher-ranked candidates are more likely to receive invitations to apply.
  3. Labor Market Focus: The selection process is closely aligned with the labor market requirements.
    • This ensures that the province attracts individuals who can significantly contribute to its economy.

Application Acceptance Summary

As of July 25, 2024, here is a summary of application acceptance for various streams:

Application Acceptance Opening Date Alberta Opportunity Stream Rural Renewal Stream Tourism and Hospitality Stream

Accelerated Tech Pathway
