Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is Alberta's provincial nominee program, offering multiple streams for workers, international graduates, rural communities, and entrepreneurs who want to settle permanently in Alberta. A provincial nomination adds 600 points to an Express Entry CRS score — effectively guaranteeing an Invitation to Apply — or allows candidates to apply directly outside of Express Entry.

Key streams include the Alberta Express Entry Stream (for Express Entry candidates with ties to Alberta), the Opportunity Stream (for workers with an Alberta job offer), and the Rural Renewal Stream (for those settling in participating rural communities). Eligibility requirements vary by stream, and AAIP draws are held regularly throughout the year. Yulia's Calgary base and familiarity with Alberta's labour market make her especially well-placed to advise on AAIP applications.
