What Is the Alberta INP Program?

This is an immigration program operated on behalf of the Government of Alberta. The Alberta PNP or AINP lets the province hire skilled workers who have the right work experience and training needed to fill jobs in Alberta.
Those who successfully apply for the program can get permanent residence, when they receive a Provincial Nomination (PN) from the province.

How to Apply for Alberta PNP Program

Successful applicants will receive a Alberta Provincial Nomination Certificate, which will speed- up the Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa application processing time. The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program has a new application stream called the Alberta Opportunity Stream (AOS), and an expansion to the occupations and skill levels that can be accepted.


These new changes will better serve workers in Alberta who want to become permanent residents. We have simplified processes, which will reduce wait times and provide fair access for all workers who wish to build lives in Alberta.

Under the Alberta Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), you may qualify under one of two streams:

  • Alberta Opportunity Stream
  • Self-Employed Farmer Stream
