Alberta Advantage Immigration Program

Alberta is a prosperous and naturally beautiful and resource-rich province.

Alberta, the most populous of Canada’s three Prairie provinces, is located in Western Canada and is home to two of the country’s largest cities, Calgary and Edmonton. It is also one of the most beautiful regions in North America, with national parks such as Banff and Jasper.

Formerly known as the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program, the province operates the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP). Through this program, prospective immigrants with the appropriate combination of skills and work experience required by the province are eligible to receive an Alberta Provincial Nomination Certificate.
