PNP Representation

The nomination that turns a work permit into permanent residence.

A provincial nomination adds 600 points to your CRS score — effectively guaranteeing an invitation to apply. There are over 80 active PNP streams across Canada, each with its own eligibility criteria. Understanding which stream fits your situation is the first step.

Eligibility

What Alberta checks for each stream.

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program operates two main streams. Each has specific requirements — missing any one can result in a refusal.

Valid work permit

You must be currently working in Alberta with a valid work permit. The type of permit and your occupation determine which stream applies.

Alberta employment

At least 12 months of full-time work experience in Alberta (or 18 months in Canada) within the last 30 months, in a qualifying occupation.

Language proficiency

Minimum CLB/NCLC level varies by NOC category. Accepted tests include IELTS, CELPIP, TEF Canada, and TCF Canada.

Education requirements

Minimum education varies by stream and NOC — high school or post-secondary depending on the occupation category.

Express Entry profile

For the Alberta Express Entry Stream, you need an active profile with a valid Express Entry number and a minimum CRS score as determined by AAIP.

Connection to Alberta

You must demonstrate a genuine connection to the province — through current employment, education, or family ties in Alberta.
