Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)

Home / Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)

Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) proposes individuals get permanent residence in Alberta. However, the nominee must have the required ability and skills to fulfil the job shortages in the territories and provide for their families. This program is run by both the Alberta government and the federal government.

If an individual gets nominated through this program, they can apply for permanent residency in Canada. They are allowed to do it with their spouse, children, and common-law partner. Although, the application for permanent residence is managed by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The decision is taken only after the government goes through the requirements checks, including security checks, criminal checks, and medical checks.
