At Travia Immigration, we understand that applying for immigration can be overwhelming. If you're looking to move to Alberta through the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP), you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re a skilled worker, entrepreneur, or farmer, the AAIP offers a great opportunity to establish your future in Alberta.

In this blog, we’ll guide you through how to apply to the AAIP and show you how Travia Immigration can help simplify the process.

What is the AAIP?

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is designed to help attract skilled workers, business owners, and farmers to Alberta. The program has several streams, each targeting different types of applicants:

• Alberta Opportunity Stream: For skilled workers with a job offer in Alberta.
• Alberta Express Entry Stream: For candidates in the federal Express Entry pool interested in living in Alberta.
• Alberta Entrepreneur Stream: For business owners and entrepreneurs.
• Self-Employed Farmer Stream: For individuals who wish to start or buy a farm in Alberta.

How to Apply to the AAIP

Here’s a simplified breakdown of how to apply:

1. Choose the Right Stream

The first step is to determine which AAIP stream applies to you. If you’re a skilled worker with a job offer, the Alberta Opportunity Stream might be the right option. If you’re an entrepreneur or farmer, you’ll want to explore the Entrepreneur Stream or Self-Employed Farmer Stream.

At Travia Immigration, we can assess your qualifications and help you choose the best stream based on your skills and goals.

2. Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI)

Once you’ve chosen the right stream, you’ll submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). This is a short application where you’ll provide your basic information, including your skills, work experience, education, and language proficiency. For entrepreneurs or farmers, your EOI will also include details about your business or farm plans.

3. Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)

If your EOI is selected, you’ll receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA). This means you’ve been invited to submit a full application. You’ll need to gather documents like proof of work experience, education, language test results, and for entrepreneurs or farmers, your business or farm plan.

4. Submit Your Full Application

After receiving your ITA, you can submit your full application to the Alberta government. Be sure to include all required documents, as incomplete applications can delay the process.

5. Receive a Provincial Nomination

If your application is successful, Alberta will nominate you for permanent residency. This means you can now apply for permanent residency through the federal immigration process.

6. Apply for Permanent Residency

With your provincial nomination, you’ll submit an application for permanent residency to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). If everything goes well, you’ll soon be granted permanent residency!
