A nomination adds +600 CRS and usually leads to an IRCC invitation to apply for PR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-037d570b wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:10px;background-color:#f9f9fc;padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alberta-express-entry-at-a-glance\">Alberta Express Entry At a Glance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who\u2019s eligible: You\u2019re already eligible for Express Entry (FSW, CEC, or FST) and meet AAIP criteria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Key steps: Create EE profile \u2192 submit AAIP Worker EOI (min CLB\/NCLC 4) \u2192 receive AAIP invite \u2192 apply with Employer Declaration + job offer \u2192 get nominated (+600 CRS) \u2192 accept in EE \u2192 IRCC PR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Typical timeline: EOI wait varies; AAIP timing depends on draw\/volume; IRCC targets ~6 months for 80% of Express Entry PR files once complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Core documents: Passport, language test (IELTS\/CELPIP\/TEF\/TCF, PTE not accepted), ECA (if needed), Employer Declaration, job offer\/contract, experience letters, any Alberta license\/trade certificate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fees: AAIP $1,500 (worker streams); IRCC PR $1,525\/adult, $260\/child; biometrics $85 per person ($170 family cap)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-alberta-express-entry-exactly\">What is Alberta Express Entry, exactly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a worker stream of the<a href=\"https:\/\/sugimotovisa.com\/en\/immigrate-to-canada\/provincial-nominee-program\/alberta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)<\/a> that selects people already in IRCC\u2019s Express Entry pool using a Worker EOI points grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Alberta invites you and later nominates you, you accept the nomination in your EE account and gain a CRS points boost (provincial nominations add 600 points under the CRS), which typically leads to an IRCC invitation to apply for PR. For the AAIP Express Entry stream, a valid, full-time Alberta job offer and a signed Employer Declaration are required with your application; AAIP currently lists IELTS\/CELPIP\/TEF\/TCF as accepted tests and does not accept PTE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eligibility-criteria\">Eligibility Criteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must first qualify for Express Entry under FSW, CEC, or FST. Alberta then uses a Worker EOI to score your profile (max 100 points). Factors include an Alberta job offer (extra points for rural), Alberta\/Canadian study or work, regulated trades, French\/English, and family in Alberta. The minimum to submit an EOI is CLB\/NCLC 4 across abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reality check:<\/strong> Alberta\u2019s Express Entry stream expects a valid, full-time Alberta job offer and an Employer Declaration with your application.
