Concepts to Understand When Participating in the Alberta Immigration Program
1. What is EOI (Expression of Interest)?
An EOI is an expression of interest. When you submit an EOI to Alberta, you are only indicating your interest, not applying for permanent residence.
Ví dụ: Submitting an EOI is like “raising your hand” to let the province know you want to settle in Alberta.
2. What is Invitation to Apply (ITA)?
If your EOI profile is selected, you will receive thư mời nộp đơn xin đề cử tỉnh bang. Lúc này, bạn phải nộp hồ sơ đầy đủ cho AAIP để xét duyệt.
3. Provincial Nomination là gì?
Sau khi được xét duyệt thành công, bạn sẽ nhận được Provincial nomination.
- If you follow basic streaming (not linked to Express Entry), you can apply for permanent residence directly from the Federal Government (IRCC).
- If you follow advanced streaming (Express Entry link like Accelerated Tech), you will be added 600 CRS points on your Express Entry profile — virtually guarantees an invitation to immigrate in the next draw.
Why Is Alberta An Attractive Destination For Immigrants?
- Economic diversity: Alberta has strengths in oil and gas, technology, healthcare, construction and tourism.
- High quality of life: Low consumption tax, average income higher than national level.
- Great demand for human resources:Many immigration programs are open throughout the year.
Conclusion
Recent invitations from Alberta show that the province is stepping up its efforts to attract talent in many fields, especially technology, tourism and security. If you are considering settling in Canada, Alberta is definitely a bright destination.
