Alberta PNP Occupation In-demand List 2024
Canada has always been a popular destination for those looking for better opportunities and a superior standard of living. Among the various pathways to obtaining Canadian permanent residence, the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program plays an important role. The AINP allows the province to assess applicants' profiles and enroll selected candidates with Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence in Canada.
The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) is comprised of three primary streams, each designed to accommodate various groups of applicants.
- Alberta Opportunities Stream
- Alberta Express Entry Stream
- Alberta Self Employed Farmer Stream
Eligible Occupations under AINP
Under the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP), most occupations under NOC TEER Categories 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are qualified, with the exception of the occupations recorded in the ineligible occupation list. The qualified occupations are liable to change intermittently; it is therefore wise to confirm the latest status of the occupation by contacting the migration experts at Abroad Pathway immigration Canada.
