Alberta AINP draw invites 100 candidates

Abstract: The recent draw conducted by the AAINP invited 100 candidates.

Highlights:

• A letter of Alberta Notification of Interest implies that the candidate is being considered in this stream.
• Based on the profile information given in the Express Entry pool, Alberta selects the candidates and sends them a letter of Notification of Interest.
• The Accelerated Tech Pathway has different requirements for selection, notification, and eligibility for the candidates.

Alberta held a draw under the AAIP or Alberta Advantage Immigration Program on May 19, 2022. The draw sent out 100 letters of Notification of Interest to immigrant candidates.

The IRCC or Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada has limited the number of nominations in this program. The program helps in welcoming foreign nationals who migrate to Canada.

The CRS or Comprehensive Ranking Score of the lowest-ranked applicant who received the letter of Notification of Interest is 382. In 2022, AAIP issued Notification of Interest letters to 2050 candidates.
