Alberta Opportunity Stream For PR: Know Full Eligibility!
The Alberta Opportunity Stream of Alberta Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is for temporary foreign workers already working full-time in Alberta. Alberta renamed its PNP to AAIP (Alberta Advantage Immigration Program) in February 2022. Previously, AAIP was called Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP).
Currently, AAIP is assessing applications received before September 2, 2022. Furthermore, there are approximately 935 applications in queue. IRCC allocated 6,500 nominations to AAIP for 2022. Out of these, Alberta has already issued 5,837 nomination certificates so far.
This article enlists full eligibility requirements for Alberta Opportunity Stream focusing on:
Language requirements
When you submit your application, you must demonstrate that you have passed the following language tests in English or French. You must get the required points based on a single test result.
National Occupational Classification (NOC) Skill Level
Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) test score required
Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) test score required
If you are working in a TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 (NOC 0, A or B) occupation
Minimum of 5 for each English language skill
Minimum of 5 for each French language skill
If you are working in a TEER 4 or 5 (NOC C or D) occupation
Minimum of 4 for each English language skill
Minimum of 4 for each French language skill
When your application is filed, official test results must be no more than two years old. The date you took the exam, not the date your test results were issued, is utilized to establish the age of your test findings. The AAIP will not accept enrollment confirmation for a language exam instead of a test result.
Occupation requirements
Eligible occupations
When you file your application, you must work in a qualifying occupation in Alberta at the time of your application evaluation. The occupation requirements apply to your work experience and a job offer.

Post-Graduation Work Permit holders
If you have a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), your occupation in Alberta must also be connected to your subject of study. See the education requirements section for further information on valid Alberta credentials and recognized Alberta institutions.
Suppose you began your Alberta credential program on or after April 1, 2019, and completed an Advanced Education-approved one-year post-diploma or post-baccalaureate certificate. In that case, your occupation must also be connected to your previous post-secondary field of study outside of Canada.

Applicants who submitted their application before November 16, 2022, will be handled and processed using NOC 2021.
However, all registrations and applications submitted on or after November 16, 2022, must use NOC 2021.

Canada-India Signs New Agreement Allowing Unlimited Flights!
Today, on November 14, 2022, Omar Alghabra, Minister of Transport, announced the signing of an expanded air transport agreement between Canada and India. The expanded agreement permits selected carriers to fly between the two countries an unlimited number of times. The prior agreement limited each country to 35 flights each week.
New census data released by Statistics Canada on October 26 revealed that India is the top source of immigrants in Canada. India accounts for nearly one in five (18.6%) of all new immigrants. Furthermore, Canada’s fourth largest foreign air transport market is in India.
This is a good news for Indian-origin immigrants living in Canada as well as future Canada aspirants from India. Additionally, this new agreement will also help in keeping the ticket prices in check to avoid unnecessary inflation of ticket rates.
Transport Minister Omar Alghabra
Goal to improve India-Canada economic relations
The government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hoping that improved access to one of the economies with the largest and fastest rate of growth will be beneficial for commerce and investment.
“By enabling the flow of products and people faster and easier,” the expanded agreement “will continue to facilitate trade and investment between Canada and India and help our businesses develop and flourish,” said Alghabra. Moreover, all cargo service rights are already unrestricted.
Removing the flight cap is crucial to pursue a complete trade agreement with India, according to Rohinton Medhora, a distinguished fellow at the think tank Centre for International Governance Innovation. In addition, it serves as a symbol that India and Canada take their business relationships seriously.
About India-Canada Expanded Transport Agreement
The first air transport agreement between Canada and India was signed in 1982 and was most recently expanded in 2011. This new agreement was reached as part of Canada’s Blue Sky policy, which promotes long-term, sustainable competition and the development of international aviation services.
The India-Canada transport agreement enables Canadian and Indian airlines to better meet the needs of the Canada-India air transport sector. Both countries’ authorities will maintain touch in the future to consider the agreement’s expansion.
The agreement allows Canadian airlines to fly to Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Mumbai. In contrast, Indian airlines can fly to Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Vancouver, and two other locations chosen by India.
So far, Air Canada is the only designated carrier that flies to Indian cities. But other domestic carriers can now also get designation status, explained the minister. Airlines can immediately exercise the new rights granted by the expanded agreement.

IRCC Announces New Canada-Italy Youth Mobility Agreement
Today, Francesco Sorbara, Member of Parliament for Vaughan-Woodbridge, announced a new Canada-Italy Youth Mobility Agreement on behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship.
With the Canada-Italy Youth Mobility Agreement, Canadian and Italian youth now have more opportunities when applying for international work or travel experience through the International Experience Canada Program.
Canada and Italy have long been youth mobility partners, supporting international work and travel opportunities. The program also assists youth in exploring different cultures, languages, and societies while gaining life skills and enhancing their future career possibilities.
The New Canada-Italy Youth Mobility Agreement
There are around 1.5 million Canadians of Italian heritage, making Canada one of the world’s largest Italian communities outside of Italy.
Under the new agreement, youth aged 18 to 35 can work and travel in Canada for up to 12 months and participate in the program twice, making it possible to travel and work for a total of 24 months.
The agreement has also expanded the program to introduce 2 new streams, International Co-op and Young Professionals. In addition, it will assist youth in gaining professional work experience abroad.
IEC Categories that can participate in New Canada-Italy Youth Mobility Agreement
The program allows for three categories of participation:
- Working Holiday participants can acquire an open work permit that enables them to work anywhere in the host nation to fund their travels.
- International Co-op (Internship) participants are provided with an employer-specific work permit, allowing students to get specific experience in their field of study.
- Young Professionals participants receive an employer-specific work permit to get specialized, professional work experience in their field of study or career choice.
This agreement with Italy creates new opportunities for future work and travel, strengthens people-to-people ties, and improves labour market access for Canadian and Italian youngsters.
About International Experience Canada (IEC)
Canada has formal youth mobility agreements in place with 36 countries and territories.
International Experience Canada (IEC) facilitates the management of reciprocal bilateral youth mobility arrangements in Canada. These agreements allow Canadians to travel and work in partner countries and territories while allowing international youth to do the same in Canada.
Nearly 200,000 Canadians have participated in the IEC Program since 2008. Many have returned to Canada with life-changing experiences that benefited their personal and professional lives.

IRCC Increased Staff by 45%, But Processing Woes Continue
In Canada’s immigration department, new data indicate a significant increase in hiring. However, the processing continues to be slow. The operational capacity of Canada’s immigration department, IRCC has increased by 45 per cent from pre-pandemic levels, according to never-before-published data.
Canada has already received nearly as many applications for temporary and permanent residents as it did in 2019 before the pandemic in only eight months of 2022.
After a two-year slowdown, the country’s immigration system is already operating 45 percent above capacity in 2019. As a result, the number of applications for permanent and temporary residents processed through the system is expected to surpass the 3.2 million recorded last year before the pandemic.
IRCC increased workforce, yet processing times continue to grow
Unprecedented data shows that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada now employs 8,104 front-line operations employees, up from 5,583 in March 2019, with the majority of the new employees hired since the start of 2022. This is true even if the number of employees on leave increased gradually from 559 in March 2019 to 733 in October.
Additionally, the number of workers who continued to telework decreased from about 100 per cent at the start of the pandemic to 71.8 per cent last month.
Richard Kurland, an immigration attorney and policy analyst, says more employees can process more files. As a result, it should lead to higher volumes of decisions when combined with the artificial intelligence decision-making system.
“You are using the A.I. to do the strenuous labour. Now that the files that require human contact are on track and heading in the correct direction, you have more people to handle them.
However, Immigration officials would prefer to see the following numbers in check, though:
- Web forms have become the primary method for applicants to contact the department, increasing from 1.61 million in 2020 to 2.26 million in 2021 and 2.42 million as of September this year;
- Another important inquiry tool is access-to-information requests, which increased from 98,042 before the pandemic to 204,549 in 2021 before falling to 122,016 so far this year;
- By 2022, there will have been 963 lawsuits filed against the immigration department, up from just 112 in 2019. These lawsuits sought a court order compelling authorities to process files.
Therefore, not all critics agree that the immigration system has stabilized.
Lack of clarity for the reasons for processing delays
Vancouver immigration attorney Steven Meurrens questioned why there were still backlogs despite having 45 percent more employees processing applications. He says he is confused why processing times “keep getting worse” in multiple programs and certain visa offices.
Further, he questioned if there are bugs with new technology or if certain visa postings have I.T. issues. Or other Technology-related concerns due to working from home. Unfortunately, since the department won’t reveal, it isn’t easy to deduce what’s happening from the statistics.
According to Ravi Jain of the Canadian Immigration Lawyers Association, the department’s increased staffing levels did not correspond to the enormous delay in how people were experiencing the online immigration system. He wants a royal commission to investigate the backlogs and delays in immigration.
In my opinion, they weren’t really doing much, says Jain. But nevertheless, they cannot get away with this. Because it’s harming individuals in so many ways, it just seems “criminal” to me, said Jain.
Through the main immigration programs, Canada had received more than 2.9 million new applications for permanent and temporary residents as of August 31. Those figures will undoubtedly raise the total above the 3.2 million files in 2019, with four months left in 2022.
In comparison to the total of 3,225,130 (235,257 permanent and 2.99 million temporary residents) reported in 2019, immigration officers processed 2.25 million immigration petitions throughout the time period—207,590 permanent and 2.04 million temporary immigrants.

New NOC Codes: Step-Wise Guide To Find Your NOC
New NOC codes: On November 16, IRCC switches to the new 2021 National Occupational Classification (NOC) version in alignment with Employment and Social Development of Canada (ESDC). It implies that the NOC 2016 skill type and skill level framework (NOC 0, A, B, C, and D) will now be represented by new 6-category system representing the training, education, experience, and responsibilities (TEER) required to work in an occupation.
As a result, the previous four-digit codes will become five digits under the new NOC 2021. It will also impact the eligibility criteria for all programs that use NOC. To prepare for these changes, you can learn the following in this article:
Steps to find new NOC code
Step 1: Visit the National Occupational Classification (NOC) official website.
Step 2: You can search by job title or NOC code on this page. If you want to search by job title, look for the “Version” section, then click on the box below it that says “NOC 2016 Version 1.3.” Then, it will open a drop-down menu and select the latest “NOC 2021 Version 1.3.”
Step 3: Once you select the new NOC 2021 version, enter your job title to find your NOC 2021 code and TEER category.
Below is an example of a job titled Marketing Coordinator. You also view other matching job titles.
Understanding New NOC categories
All programs that previously used skill types or levels will now use NOC 2021 codes and TEER categories.
Most positions will remain in the TEER category, corresponding to the skill level in the table below. However, certain jobs may change to other TEER categories. The most significant change is the subdivision of Skill Level B jobs that will now become TEER 2 or TEER 3 jobs.
The table below explains the distribution between skill types or levels and corresponding TEER categories.
Immigration Programs that new NOC will affect
Generally, all programs that have used NOC skill types or levels to invite applicants will be affected. Therefore, all the programs below will switch to using NOC 2021 codes and TEER levels.
Additionally, several occupations will become eligible and ineligible under specific programs due to the new NOC 2021 implementation.
Frequently Asked Questions regarding new TEER system
Do you need to update your Express Entry profile as new NOC is implemented?
Suppose you are an Express Entry candidate who submitted your profile before November 16 but has not yet received an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Then, you must update your Express Entry profile with your new NOC 2021 code and TEER category.If you receive an ITA before November 16, you can submit your Express Entry application using the NOC 2016 system. In addition, you can also refer to the NOC code mentioned on your ITA receipt and submit your application accordingly. However, there is no need for you to update to NOC 2021 if you received an ITA before November 16.
How will new NOC affect CRS scores?
The points distribution would be similar to what it has been with NOC 2016. Such as, so far, Express Entry applicants with arranged employment in Skill Levels 0, A and B have received 50 additional points.With NOC 2021, applicants will receive 50 additional points for arranged employment provided their NOC is in TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3.
Similarly, you will continue to receive points for Canadian education. However, your work experience must be in occupations that are TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3.
How can you prepare for new NOC?
To be prepared, you can be mindful of the new changes in the TEER lead statements and primary duties. Although most duties may be similar, your work experience letter must reflect the duties mentioned in your new NOC 2021 code and TEER category.Moreover, you must continue to match the duties in your NOC 2021 occupation if you want to claim points for the skilled experience inside and outside Canada.

Canada To Start Targeted Draws For Skilled Workers Next Year
To address the severe labour shortages, Canada is prepared to begin targeted Express Entry draws for skilled workers as early as next year, according to Immigration Minister Sean Fraser.
In an interview, the federal immigration minister told Reuters that Canada would begin conducting targeted draws for skilled immigrants next year. It would allow them to handpick candidates with the most in-demand skills for the areas of the country that need workers the most.
Learn about the minister’s latest interview on targeted draws coming next year, IRCC focus and what we know so far.
Conducting targeted draws in early 2023
The current Express Entry system ranks potential economic immigrants according to their language, education, experience and other skills. Those with the highest CRS scores receive an invitation to apply for permanent residency.
With the upcoming changes, Canada can select individuals with particular skills and abilities in specific professions. As well as consider those who plan to move to certain provinces.
“We can do a targeted draw beginning in 2023. That will allow us to select workers by the sector that they work in and the part of Canada that they are going to
This means we will be able to bring a greater focus to welcome more healthcare workers … in jurisdictions that will allow them to practice“
-said Immigration Minister Sean Fraser
Focus on healthcare workers
The COVID-19 pandemic and a shortage of nurses are putting excessive stress on Canada’s healthcare system. As a result, many foreign-trained doctors and nurses do not wind up working in their sector. The country has also had difficulty licensing healthcare employees after they arrive.
The healthcare system in Canada is the provinces’ responsibility. Immigration Minister Sean Fraser promised to work with provinces that make recognizing the foreign credentials of doctors and nurses simpler in an interview with Reuters.
He continued by saying that the federal government would work with the provinces to establish a clearer pathway and move forward with targeted draws for the provinces that facilitate the transition.
Further, he explained that he would focus only on provinces that make it simple for health professionals to verify their qualifications from abroad and begin practising as soon as they arrive.
“I’m not interested in conducting a targeted draw for healthcare workers that are going to come to Canada and not be permitted to practice their profession”
– Said Fraser
Targeted draws to invite the Federal High Skilled Class category
The federal government increased its immigration targets this week, announcing a three-year goal of 1.45 million new permanent residents. The targeted draws will fall within Canada’s federal “high-skilled” category, representing about 21.1% of new arrivals during that time.
Canada is experiencing a severe labour shortage. According to the most recent data on job openings, there were 1.0 million unemployed persons and 958,500 available positions in Canada in August.
Business organizations have argued that the government should take stronger action on immigration to support businesses facing a historic labour shortage.
As immigration numbers reach historic highs, concerns about where the newcomers will live are increasing. There is already a housing scarcity in Canada.
According to Fraser, the government will emphasize bringing in trained labourers to help create new housing and choosing immigrants for places with the “absorptive capacity” to accept them.
Increased focus on Economic class immigrants
More than 60% of all immigration to Canada is expected to be from the economic class this year.
Canada is already on track to accept 279,292 new permanent residents through economic programs this year, which is about 2.6% or 7,267 new permanent residents more than Ottawa had hoped to achieve through the new immigration levels plan for the next year.
President and CEO of the Business Council of Canada, Goldy Hyder, explains that economic-class permanent residents account for only 58.5 percent of overall admissions in the immigration levels plan announced by the federal government last week.
Of the 309,240 new permanent residents who entered Canada during the first eight months of this year, they arrived under the economic immigration programs making up 60.2% of the total.
If the country adopted the target of 65% for economic immigration set by the Business Council of Canada, 302,250 new permanent residents would enter the country under economic programs out of the country’s total 465,000 in the following year.
Economic immigration, according to the Business Council of Canada, is essential to expanding the Canadian economy.
Every unfilled position represents one less person contributing to the economic prosperity of Canada and one less person paying taxes to maintain Canada’s social infrastructure, says Hyder.

More Than 4400 LMIA Approved Jobs In Canada – Here Is How To Find One
Getting LMIA-approved jobs in Canada can often be difficult as the employer needs to apply for an LMIA and receive a positive response. Moreover, before hiring a Temporary Foreign Worker for a certain occupation, an employer must obtain a positive LMIA.
In general, Service Canada will issue a positive LMIA if an assessment reveals that hiring a temporary foreign worker (TFW) will positively or neutrally impact the Canadian labour market.
However, to dodge the lengthy process of getting an LMIA, you can find LMIA-approved jobs using Canada Job Bank. In addition, you can refer to the list of employers who have applied and received a positive LMIA.
Below are the steps to help you find LMIA-approved jobs on Canada Job Bank and another option to find LMIA-positive employers.
Steps to find LMIA approved jobs using Canada Job Bank
Step 1: Visit the official Canada Job Bank Website, then scroll down to “Temporary Foreign Worker.”
Step 2: Once you land on the Temporary Foreign Worker page, you will find a “search” button with the number of job postings. Click on this search button.
Step 3: After you hit the search button, you can view the number of jobs available and filter through the location, salary, language at work and LMIA status.
Step 4: Within the filter options (on the left), scroll down to “Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) status” and select the check box that says “LMIA approved.”
After following these steps, you will find the list of available jobs that are also LMIA-approved. Then, you can apply online and reach out to employers directly to express your interest or clarify any position query.
How to find LMIA positive employers?
As mentioned earlier, employers need to apply for an LMIA and receive a positive response to hire a foreign national. If they receive a negative response, they will not be able to hire a foreign national.
To avoid job fraud and for interested candidates to access information without paying any fee, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) publishes a list of employers who requested an LMIA and received a positive response.
ESDC publishes the list of employers who received a positive LMIA each year. So whether you are a temporary foreign worker looking for another employer or someone looking to get a job offer, you can refer to ESDC’s list to find potential employers.
Additionally, this ESDC’s LMIA-positive employer list is divided into two quarters. To view the list, click here.
