Alberta PNP invites 184 in the latest AINP draw

The province of Alberta has held its second draw of the month under the Provincial Nominee Program [PNP] of Canada.

On June 16, 2021, another 184 received invitations – also referred to as Notification of Interest [NOI] Letters – through the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program [AINP]

The previous AINP draw was held on June 5, 2021.

CRS: Comprehensive Ranking System, used for ranking profiles in IRCC Express Entry pool of candidates.

AINP draws, usually held twice in a month, are part of the Express Entry Stream selection by Alberta PNP.

For the Alberta Express Entry Stream selection, the AINP regularly reviews Canada immigration hopefuls with their profile in the federal Express Entry pool of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC]. 

Selected candidates are then invited by the AINP to submit their completed application to the AINP for being nominated by Alberta for their permanent residence in Canada.

An IRCC Express Entry candidate nominated under Canadian PNP is allotted 600 CRS points. By CRS is meant the ranking system – the Comprehensive Ranking System – used for ranking profiles against one another while in the pool.

With a 600 CRS points boost through a PNP nomination, the nominated IRCC Express Entry candidate is assured an invitation to apply by IRCC in the next federal draw to be held.

NOI Lettes and requests to apply sent by the AINP are in keeping with the factors of –

• the volume of potential candidates meeting the requirements,
• the occupation or sector of submissions in the AINP processing queue, and
• the number of available AINP nominations, as per the annual allocation.

For an IRCC Express Entry candidate to receive an AINP invitation, they must have stated an interest – in their IRCC Express Entry profile – in immigrating permanently to Alberta province. That is, they must have the clear intention of living and working within the province after being granted their permanent residence in Canada.

With the latest AINP draw, a total of 2,284 invitations have been issued by the AINP in the 12 draws held so far in 2021.
