ALBERTA IMMIGRANT NOMINEE PROGRAM (AINP)
Alberta is a Western Province of Canada. It is one of Canada’s most economically and socially dynamic provinces.
Alberta is bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the US state of Montana to the south. Alberta has a relatively high rate of growth mainly because of its vast natural resources.
The AINP, Albert’s Provincial Nominee Program facilitates prospective immigrants with skills and experience to be Nominated by the Province. At which time they may receive an Alberta Provincial Nominee Certificate. Individuals nominated by the Government of Alberta, together with their spouse/common-law partner and dependent children, can apply for permanent residence through CIC as a Provincial Nominee.
