ALBERTA WILL INTRODUCE A NEW EXPRESSION OF INTEREST SYSTEM

On August 7, 2024, the Government of Alberta announced an important update to its immigration procedures. Starting September 30, 2024, Alberta will implement a new expression of interest system under the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP). This new system marks a significant change in the way immigration applications are processed, as it will replace the previously scheduled monthly application acceptance dates for the remainder of 2024. Instead, the new system will facilitate a continuous intake of expressions of interest.

The goal of this initiative is to streamline the immigration process, making it more efficient and effective in attracting skilled professionals to the province. By moving to a more flexible intake system, Alberta aims to better meet its labor market needs and support its economic growth.

In 2024 alone, Alberta has already demonstrated its commitment to supporting skilled immigration by nominating 6,187 applicants and extending invitations to 734 candidates under the AAIP.
