Alberta Provincial Nominee Program

Alberta's nominee program focuses on Alberta Opportunity Stream and an Express Entry-aligned stream. A nomination under this program can add 600 CRS points to an Express Entry profile where the stream is aligned, or lead to permanent residence through the province's own separate process where it isn't.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a job offer to be nominated under Alberta's program?

It depends on the specific stream — some require a valid job offer from an employer in the province, while others nominate directly based on profile strength or a demonstrated connection to the province.

How does a nomination affect my Express Entry profile?

For aligned streams, a nomination adds 600 CRS points directly to the existing profile. For non-aligned streams, the nomination instead leads to a separate provincial application process.

What makes Alberta different from other provinces?

Opportunity Stream targets workers already employed in Alberta on a valid work permit.
