Calagry ( Rajeev Sharma): The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) has experienced a significant expansion with an additional 1,528 nomination spots allocated for 2025, increasing the total allocation to 6,403. This enhancement follows Alberta’s initial allocation of 4,875, which was deemed insufficient to address the province’s escalating labor market needs.
The expansion aims to provide new opportunities for skilled workers, international graduates, and entrepreneurs seeking permanent residence in Alberta. Key streams under the AAIP include the Alberta Opportunity Stream, Alberta Express Entry Stream, and dedicated pathways for healthcare professionals and other in-demand occupations.
Provincial authorities have emphasized that all applications will undergo rigorous assessment to ensure eligibility, and detailed information regarding the distribution of the additional nominations across various streams will be available shortly on the official AAIP portal.
This development underscores Alberta’s commitment to addressing labor shortages and supporting economic growth through strategic immigration programs.
