Alberta Immigration 2026: The AAIP Explained

Alberta Immigration and the AAIP: How the Program Works

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program is Alberta's provincial nominee program (PNP), the successor to the former Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP). It lets the Government of Alberta nominate skilled workers, graduates and entrepreneurs who can meet the province's labour-market needs. A nomination is a powerful endorsement, but it is not permanent residence on its own. After Alberta nominates you, you apply separately to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), which makes the final decision.

For 2026, Alberta's nomination allocation is 6,603, down from 9,750 in 2024 after the federal government cut provincial allocations (source: alberta.ca, AAIP, 2026). That tighter cap is the single most important fact for anyone planning to immigrate to Alberta this year: spaces are limited, draws are held “as needed” rather than on a fixed schedule, and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee an invitation. Our latest AAIP draw tracker shows how that plays out round by round.

Alberta immigration through the AAIP works because the province and the federal government split the decision. Alberta knows its own labour market, so it decides which occupations, sectors and communities get priority in a given year. IRCC, meanwhile, is the only body that can grant permanent residence, and it runs the medical, security and criminal checks that apply to every applicant regardless of which province nominated them. Understanding that split matters practically: a strong Alberta nomination cannot rescue a file with an admissibility problem, and a weak nomination application will not get better just because your federal history is clean. Both halves need to be right.

Who Can Immigrate to Alberta Through the AAIP, and What About Family?

Every AAIP stream sits on top of the same baseline. You need valid identity documents, language test results from an approved test (IELTS, CELPIP, TEF Canada or TCF Canada), and an Educational Credential Assessment for any education completed outside Canada. Worker streams generally need proof of a qualifying Alberta job offer or current Alberta employment, while business streams need proof of net worth and investment instead. Settlement funds work differently across streams too: a candidate with a permanent, full-time Alberta job offer is typically exempt from the federal proof-of-funds requirement that applies to some other PR routes, since a confirmed job is treated as evidence you can support yourself, while a business-stream applicant proves funds through the net-worth and investment documentation the stream already requires. Whichever stream applies to you, IRCC still runs its own medical, security and criminal-admissibility checks at the federal stage once you are nominated, and a provincial nomination cannot override those checks.

You are not required to use a representative at all, Alberta accepts self-represented WEOI submissions, but if you do use one, confirm they are a licensed RCIC registered with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants, an immigration lawyer, or otherwise authorized, since both Alberta and IRCC can refuse an application tied to an unauthorized representative.

A nomination is issued to you as the principal applicant, but your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children are normally included as accompanying family members on the federal permanent-residence application that follows, so they land with you rather than filing separately later. That is different from Canada's family sponsorship programs, which exist to sponsor a spouse who is not otherwise part of your own application. If your spouse has a medical or security issue that could affect admissibility, tell us before you file, since it can affect the whole family's application, not just theirs.

What Is the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program? The Name, the History and Who Runs It

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Programis the official name of Alberta's provincial nominee program, and it is what almost everyone means by the AAIP shorthand. Alberta relaunched its immigration program under this name in 2018, retiring the earlier Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) brand and introducing new streams, an updated points grid and the Worker Expression of Interest system that still runs the program today. If you come across an older guide, forum post or brochure that still refers to the AINP, it is describing the same Alberta Advantage Immigration Program under its previous name, not a separate route.

“Advantage” in the program's name points to the case Alberta makes for itself: no provincial sales tax, so only the 5 percent federal GST applies at the till, competitive wages in energy, health care, technology and the trades, and housing costs in Calgary and Edmonton that sit well below Toronto and Vancouver. The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program is administered by the Government of Alberta, working inside the federal PNP allocation that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) sets each year. Alberta decides who it nominates; IRCC decides who becomes a permanent resident, and neither government owes the other an outcome, which is why we treat a nomination as one careful step toward Alberta immigration rather than the finish line on its own.

AAIP streams in 2026: which one fits you?

Weighing where in the province to settle? Our guide to moving to Alberta compares Calgary, Edmonton and the Bow Valley on cost of living, jobs and housing, and our Cost of living in Calgary breakdown goes deeper on rent, groceries and everyday budgeting for that city specifically.

The AAIP is not one program but a family of streams and pathways, each with its own AAIP eligibility rules. Most are worker streams; a few are business streams for entrepreneurs and farmers. The table below maps the live 2026 streams. Note that “base” streams lead to a separate IRCC paper application, while the “enhanced” Alberta Express Entry Stream adds 600 CRS points to your federal profile.

The base versus enhanced split matters in practice, not just on paper. An enhanced nomination through the Express Entry Stream feeds your federal profile directly, so once you are nominated you are simply waiting on the next Express Entry draw, and IRCC then publishes about 7 months from the acknowledgement of receipt for that enhanced application (IRCC processing times, last updated 3 September 2026). A base nomination, from the Opportunity Stream, Rural Renewal, Tourism & Hospitality or any business stream, means filing a separate paper application to IRCC after nomination, with its own document checklist and its own, generally longer, queue. Neither path is automatically better, the right one depends on whether you already have an Express Entry profile with a CRS of 300 or more.

Alberta PNP: Worker Streams vs. Business Streams

The AAIP is Alberta's entry in Canada's wider provincial nominee program system, and “Alberta PNP” and “AAIP” describe the exact same program under two different names. Every AAIP stream falls into one of two families, and knowing which one you are in changes what gets assessed, whether you need a job offer, and how the nomination feeds into your federal application.

Most people who ask whether it is genuinely easy to get PR through Alberta are really asking about a worker stream, because that is where roughly four in five AAIP invitations go. We do not publish success rates or guarantee an outcome for any stream, official criteria change and Alberta selects from its pool through targeted Alberta PNP draws rather than a first-come queue, but a worker stream with a genuine Alberta job offer is generally the more direct route than a business stream, which asks you to fund and operate a business before nomination.

The Alberta Opportunity Stream (AOS)

The Alberta Opportunity Stream carried 8,183 of the 12,704 invitations Alberta counted across its 2026 draws to September 9, about 64%, leaving aside five rounds of fewer than 10 (alberta.ca, AAIP processing information, September 9, 2026), so for many people it is the practical route to immigrate to Alberta. It is designed for temporary foreign workers who are already living and working in Alberta on a valid work permit, with an ongoing full-time job offer from their Alberta employer.

The language requirement scales with your job. Most occupations in NOC 2021 TEER 0 to 3 need CLB 5, TEER 4 to 5 roles need CLB 4, and some regulated roles (such as NOC 33102) require CLB 7. The AOS is a base stream, so a nomination leads to a separate IRCC application rather than CRS points.

Most AOS candidates reach that qualifying Alberta job through a standard LMIA work permit, so the timeline on your employer's side matters as much as your own file. Check the current LMIA processing time before you plan an EOI submission date, and confirm the employer's Labour Market Impact Assessment is genuinely current. An expired or borderline LMIA is one of the more common reasons an AOS file stalls.

The Alberta Express Entry Stream, and why CRS ≥ 300 matters

The Alberta Express Entry Stream is the program's only enhanced stream. To be considered, you must already have an active federal Express Entry profile with a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 300, a hard floor set by Alberta. Alberta then searches the pool for candidates who match its priority occupations and issues a Notification of Interest. If you accept and are nominated, IRCC adds 600 CRS points to your profile, putting most candidates well above the typical cut-off in the next federal draw, though IRCC still issues the invitation.

Not every Alberta job offer runs through the standard LMIA process. A tech employer moving in a specialist through an intra-company transfer, or a role covered by a trade agreement such as CUSMA, may instead use an LMIA exempt work permit. Either route can support the Express Entry Stream, provided the underlying job and your CRS both qualify. Our dedicated Alberta Express Entry Stream guide walks through the Notification of Interest process, the timing, and how the +600 CRS lands in a live federal draw.

Other AAIP streams: Rural Renewal, Tourism & Hospitality, tech and more

Beyond those two flagship streams, Alberta also runs several other targeted pathways:

• Alberta Rural Renewal Stream: Alberta nominates workers who hold a job in a designated rural community and a designated-community endorsement letter from that community. Alberta overhauled the stream on January 1, 2026: endorsements are valid for 12 months, and applicants must hold a valid work permit, because implied or maintained status is no longer accepted and restoration is refused. In-Alberta applicants can come from TEER 0 to 5; those applying from outside Alberta need TEER 0 to 3.
• Tourism & Hospitality Stream: Alberta nominates tourism and hospitality workers who hold an Alberta job offer in the sector, through a stream it launched in March 2024. It matters most in the resort communities across the Bow Valley, including Canmore, Banff and Lake Louise.
• Accelerated Tech and Dedicated Health Care pathways: these are enhanced pathways inside the Alberta Express Entry Stream, and Alberta runs separate draws through each of them for tech workers and for health professionals who hold a matching Alberta job offer.

Alberta's priority sectors for 2026 are health care, technology, construction and the trades, manufacturing, aviation, agriculture, tourism and hospitality, and law enforcement, plus designated Rural Renewal communities.

Alberta's Business and Entrepreneur Streams: Rural Entrepreneur, Graduate Entrepreneur, Foreign Graduate Entrepreneur and Farm

Alongside the worker streams, four AAIP business streams let you earn a nomination by starting or buying a genuine, actively-managed business rather than by holding a job offer. None of them accept a Worker EOI: each is assessed on business ownership, investment, the business plan and management experience instead, and only the Rural Entrepreneur and Farm streams attach a net-worth requirement.

• Rural Entrepreneur Stream: Alberta sets a minimum personal net worth of $300,000 and a minimum business investment of $100,000 for anyone starting or buying and actively managing a business in a participating rural community, defined as one under 100,000 people outside the Calgary and Edmonton census metropolitan areas (alberta.ca, Rural Entrepreneur Stream eligibility, checked 8 September 2026). Both figures are mandatory floors that apply in every participating community; investing more earns points on the 175-point grid but never lowers them.
• Graduate Entrepreneur Stream: Alberta requires graduates of a publicly funded Alberta post-secondary institution to hold at least two years of full-time Alberta study, a valid Post-Graduation Work Permit at submission, Canadian Language Benchmark 7 in every ability and a minimum 34 percent ownership share of the business (alberta.ca, Graduate Entrepreneur Stream eligibility, September 2026). This stream sets no minimum investment and no minimum net worth; investment is a scored factor rather than a floor.
• Foreign Graduate Entrepreneur Stream: Alberta nominates recent graduates of institutions outside Canada who hold the backing of a designated Alberta agency or incubator and who own and actively manage an innovative Alberta business. Alberta sets a lower minimum personal investment for a business located outside the Calgary and Edmonton metropolitan areas than for one inside them, and publishes the current amounts on alberta.ca.
• Farm Stream: Alberta nominates experienced farmers and farm managers who buy or start a primary-production farm, covering grain, cattle, dairy, poultry and similar operations, and actively run it. The stream is assessed on proven farm-management experience, personal net worth and a documented equity investment in the farm, and Alberta revises those thresholds periodically rather than fixing them in the stream rules.

Unlike the worker streams, a business stream is not scored against a point total you can calculate in advance. Alberta instead reviews your net worth documentation, the source of your funds, your business plan and, once you are operating, whether you have met the job-creation and investment commitments you proposed. A Rural Entrepreneur Stream applicant buying an existing rural retail business, for example, needs to show the purchase price and their equity share line up with the minimum investment for that stream, and that the business is a genuine, active concern rather than a shell used only to qualify. Every threshold above is set by the Government of Alberta and revised from time to time, and alberta.ca carries the amount in force on the day you commit funds.

How the Alberta Worker EOI is scored (max 100)

All worker pathways are ranked through the Worker Expression of Interest (WEOI), scored out of 100 points. That total splits into two sections: human capital (max 69) and economic factors (max 31). The summary below is drawn from the official Government of Alberta scoring. The full AAIP points grid, with every band and the latest cut-offs, lives on our calculator.

A few points are worth flagging. Education scored highest if completed in Alberta (10 location points), and language is scored on your lowest of four abilities, so a single weak skill drags the whole score down. The economic factors reward an Alberta job offer most heavily, which is why so many AAIP routes are employer-driven. Use our free Alberta PNP points calculator to see where you land.

A worked example: scoring a sample AAIP Worker EOI

Numbers make this concrete. Take a hypothetical Alberta Opportunity Stream candidate: a 30-year-old registered nurse with a Canadian nursing diploma completed at an Alberta college, CLB 8 across all four English skills, three years of Alberta work experience in her occupation, and a permanent full-time job offer from her current employer. On the human-capital side she would pick up strong marks for education, the full 10 location points for an Alberta credential, solid language and Canadian work-experience points, and a good score in the 21-to-34 age band. On the economic-factor side her permanent Alberta job offer is worth up to 10 points, and because nursing is a regulated occupation with certification, the regulated-occupation factor can add up to another 10.

Add that up across the human-capital and economic-factor totals, and a profile like hers can land comfortably in the upper half of the 100-point scale, though the exact number depends on her own family ties, total experience and language scores in French as well as English. This is illustrative only, the AAIP scores your actual file, not a hypothetical one, and cut-offs move with every draw. Run your own numbers on the free Alberta PNP points calculator rather than estimating from an example.

A second profile shows how the enhanced Express Entry Stream works differently from the base Opportunity Stream example above, since it runs on two scores at once rather than one. Picture a 27-year-old software developer with an active federal Express Entry profile at CRS 340, a bachelor's degree, CLB 9 English and a permanent Alberta job offer from a Calgary tech employer in a matching occupation. She clears Alberta's 300 CRS floor easily, so the Alberta Express Entry Stream, likely through the Accelerated Tech Pathway, is in play. If Alberta issues a Notification of Interest and she is nominated, the +600 CRS lands on top of her existing 340, comfortably clearing recent PNP-specific Express Entry cut-offs, though the federal government still issues the invitation and the exact cut-off in her draw is never guaranteed in advance.

AAIP draw cut-offs in 2026

Across the 74 AAIP draws Alberta held between 26 January and 9 September 2026, the minimum Worker EOI score ranged from 45 in a non-Express-Entry Dedicated Health Care round up to 73 in a Tourism & Hospitality round, with the Alberta Opportunity Stream landing between 50 and 65 and Rural Renewal between 50 and 55 (alberta.ca, AAIP draw results, 2026). Alberta holds these draws “as needed” rather than on a schedule, and publishes the minimum score for each round. Because the 2026 allocation is capped at 6,603 nominations, expect competition to stay firm through the year.

That is a meaningfully tighter market than 2024, when a 9,750-nomination allocation let Alberta run broader draws with more forgiving cut-offs on several streams. Alberta has 3,147 fewer nominations to issue in 2026 than in 2024, a cut of 32 percent, so a mid-scoring EOI that would have cleared a 2024 draw can sit below the cut-off in 2026, and we tell clients to build the strongest file the first time rather than submit a borderline WEOI and hope the next round is softer.

Rather than duplicate the record here, we keep one tracker up to date: our AAIP draw results page lists every round with its date, stream, invitations issued and minimum EOI, refreshed after each round Alberta publishes, and the Alberta PNP points calculator scores you against them.

AAIP fees and processing in 2026

Alberta introduced a $135 Worker Expression of Interest (WEOI) submission fee effective April 7, 2026, new this year. Before that date Alberta did not charge a separate fee to submit a Worker EOI at all, so this is a genuine added cost, not a replacement for an older fee. On top of that, the AAIP application fee is $1,500 and is non-refundable, and a reconsideration request costs $250. These are provincial fees only; once you reach the IRCC stage you pay separate federal permanent-residence fees.

The $250 reconsideration fee matters more than its size suggests. If Alberta refuses a Worker EOI submission or an AAIP application, you generally have a limited window to request reconsideration before that decision becomes final and you would need to start over, WEOI fee and all. A reconsideration request is not a fresh appeal, it asks Alberta to review the same decision against the same file, so it only helps when the refusal turned on something genuinely fixable, a missing document or a clear factual error, rather than on an eligibility gap that a second look will not change.

How long does the AAIP take?

Alberta publishes no single guaranteed AAIP processing time, so the provincial half of your timeline depends on the stream and on how complete your file is. The federal half is measured: after a nomination, IRCC publishes about 7 months from the acknowledgement of receipt for an enhanced (Express Entry) provincial nominee application and about 13 months for a base, paper one such as the Alberta Opportunity Stream (IRCC processing times, last updated 3 September 2026). Both figures move with application volume and IRCC republishes them monthly, so read them alongside the live figures on alberta.ca and canada.ca. For a stream-by-stream breakdown, see our AAIP processing time guide.

After Your AAIP Nomination: What the Federal PR Application Involves

A nomination certificate does not put you on a plane, it lets you apply to IRCC for permanent residence, and that application carries its own checklist regardless of whether you came through an enhanced or base stream. Expect to provide biometrics, a police certificate from every country you have lived in for six months or more since turning 18, a medical exam through an IRCC-approved panel physician, and proof of funds if your stream requires it.

Enhanced (Alberta Express Entry Stream) applications move through the same online portal as any other Express Entry profile, with the province's 600 CRS points already applied once nomination is confirmed. Base applications, the Alberta Opportunity Stream, Rural Renewal, Tourism & Hospitality and the business streams, are paper applications filed directly with IRCC's provincial nominee intake, a separate process from Express Entry with its own document checklist. Missing a single required document is one of the more common reasons a complete-seeming base application sits in queue longer than it should. We prepare this stage alongside the nomination itself, so your federal package is ready to submit the same week you are nominated, not weeks after. If IRCC ultimately refuses the federal application after a provincial nomination, that nomination does not automatically extend or transfer to a fresh application, so understanding exactly why a refusal happened matters before you decide on next steps.

Do You Need the AAIP at All? Comparing a Provincial Nomination to a Federal-Only Express Entry Application

Not everyone benefits from going through Alberta first. If your Comprehensive Ranking System score already clears the federal Express Entry cut-off on its own, and you are comfortable landing anywhere in Canada rather than specifically in Alberta, a federal-only Express Entry application can be the more direct route, since it skips the provincial nomination stage, its own fees and its own processing time, entirely.

The AAIP earns its place when one of two things is true: your CRS sits below the federal cut-off and the +600 from an Alberta Express Entry Stream nomination would clear it, or you do not have an active Express Entry profile at all and are relying on a base stream, such as the Alberta Opportunity Stream, that does not require one. Because Alberta's Express Entry Stream still requires a CRS of at least 300 before it will even consider you, a very low CRS score usually points toward a base, employer-driven stream instead.

There is no universal right answer, and we do not predict which route will be faster for a given file, draw volumes and cut-offs move too often for that. What we do is read your actual CRS, work history and job-offer situation against both the federal Express Entry pool and Alberta pathway options, and tell you which is the stronger bet for your specific numbers.

Other Ways to Immigrate to Alberta Beyond the AAIP

The AAIP is the main route, not the only one. International students who complete an eligible program at an Alberta institution and secure a Post-Graduation Work Permit often build the Canadian work experience, and in many cases the Alberta job offer, that later qualifies them for the Alberta Opportunity Stream or the Express Entry Stream. A study permit can be step one of an AAIP application rather than a separate track entirely.

Family sponsorship is a separate route again. If you have a spouse, common-law partner or eligible family member who is already a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Alberta, spousal sponsorship runs on its own eligibility and timeline and does not touch the AAIP at all. Entrepreneurs who do not meet an AAIP business stream's net-worth or investment thresholds sometimes look at the federal Start-up Visa program instead, which has its own investor-group and innovation criteria and is not administered by Alberta.

Whichever route fits, the practical question is the same: which pathway gets you to permanent residence with the fewest open risks for your specific profile. That is the read a licensed RCIC gives you before you commit months of paperwork to one route over another.

How Alberta Immigration Works Through the AAIP: Step by Step

1. 01

   Confirm your eligible stream

   Match your profile to the right AAIP pathway, AOS if you're already working in Alberta, the Express Entry Stream if you're in the federal pool with CRS ≥ 300, or a rural/sector pathway.

2. 02

   Test language & gather documents

   Take an approved language test (IELTS, CELPIP or TEF/TCF), get an ECA for foreign education, and collect work-experience and job-offer evidence.

3. 03

   Submit your Worker EOI

   Create and submit your WEOI (with the $135 fee from April 7, 2026). It stays in Alberta's pool, valid for one year, scored out of 100.

4. 04

   Receive an invitation

   If your EOI meets a draw's cut-off for your pathway, Alberta issues an invitation to apply. Eligibility alone does not guarantee this.

5. 05

   Apply to the AAIP & get nominated

   Submit a complete AAIP application (the $1,500 fee applies). On approval, Alberta nominates you, and the Express Entry Stream adds 600 CRS.

6. 06

   Apply to IRCC for permanent residence

   File your separate federal PR application with medicals, police checks and proof of funds. IRCC makes the final decision.

Which AAIP Stream Fits Which Part of Alberta

Alberta is a genuinely big province, and the stream that fits you often tracks the part of it where your job, your business, or your family already is, rather than where you would simply prefer to live.

• Calgary and Edmonton:energy, finance, technology, aviation and public-sector jobs feed the Alberta Opportunity Stream and the Accelerated Tech Pathway most heavily, and both cities also support the Dedicated Health Care Pathway's hospital and clinical roles.
• The Bow Valley (Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise):tourism and hospitality employers here are the natural fit for the Tourism & Hospitality Stream, and we see it most often in this stretch of the province, our own backyard.
• Smaller towns and rural municipalities outside Calgary and Edmonton: the Alberta Rural Renewal Stream (worker) and the Rural Entrepreneur Stream (business) both target these communities specifically, and a Rural Renewal nomination needs a designated-community endorsement letter from the town itself.
• Agricultural regions across the province: the Farm Stream is built for buying or starting a primary-production farm, wherever in Alberta that land is.
• Province-wide, not regional:the Law Enforcement Pathway serves police and peace-officer roles identified by Alberta chiefs of police, so it is not tied to any one city or region the way the Tourism & Hospitality or Rural Renewal streams are.

Our Best places to live in Alberta guide compares twelve cities and towns on cost, jobs and lifestyle if you are still deciding where to settle before you commit to a stream.

What We Check Before Filing an AAIP Application

Most AAIP refusals and stalled files trace back to a handful of avoidable problems, and a licensed RCIC earns their fee by catching these before Alberta or IRCC does, not after.

• NOC and TEER classification. The wrong National Occupational Classification code, or duties that do not genuinely match the code claimed, can sink a job offer or work-experience claim on review. We check the actual duties against the NOC/TEER definition before you rely on it.
• A language band one point short. Every AAIP language factor is scored on your lowest of four abilities. A candidate who is strong in three skills and one CLB band short in the fourth still scores as if all four were weak. We flag this before you book a retest, not after a low EOI comes back.
• A job offer that will not hold up. Alberta and IRCC both scrutinise whether a job offer is genuine, ongoing and full-time. We check the underlying LMIA business legitimacy, the employer's operating history and whether the wage and duties match the LMIA on file, since a weak employer file is one of the more common reasons an employer-driven stream stalls.
• Work-permit status gaps. Under the Rural Renewal rules that took effect January 1, 2026, implied or maintained status is no longer accepted, only a valid permit qualifies. We confirm permit validity and endorsement-letter timing before you submit, so a lapsed status does not surface only after Alberta reviews the file.
• A WEOI that has quietly expired.A Worker EOI is valid for one year. We track expiry dates for clients sitting in Alberta's pool, so a promising profile does not fall out of contention simply because the 12 months ran out between draws.
• Source-of-funds gaps on a business stream. Net worth that cannot be traced to a legitimate source, gifted funds without proper documentation, or a business valuation that does not match the purchase agreement, are all flags an officer looks for on a Rural Entrepreneur, Graduate Entrepreneur or Farm Stream file. We build the paper trail before you submit, not after a request for more information.
• Dependents left off the file. A child who ages out, a previous marriage that was never formally ended, or an undeclared dependent can all create admissibility problems that surface only at the federal stage, well after your AAIP nomination is already in hand. We review your full family situation alongside your own eligibility, not as an afterthought.

How Wild Mountain Immigration helps you immigrate to Alberta

Alberta is our home province, we are based in Canmore, in the Bow Valley, and the AAIP is the program we work with most. Whether you call it the AAIP, the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program or simply the Alberta PNP, it is the file type our Canmore office handles every week. Working under a licensed RCIC (CICC #R706497), our team helps you choose the stream that genuinely fits, builds your Worker EOI to capture every point you are entitled to, and prepares a nomination and federal application that stand up to scrutiny. We catch the small mistakes, the wrong NOC code, a language score one band short, a work-permit-status issue under the new Rural Renewal rules, that cause avoidable refusals.

Every engagement starts with a full document review before we quote any fee, so you know exactly where your file stands rather than guessing. Once retained, we track your WEOI status, upcoming draw cut-offs and any Alberta policy update that affects your specific stream, and we tell you promptly if something changes your plan rather than waiting for you to ask. That ongoing oversight, not just the initial application, is what a licensed RCIC in Canmore actually does on an Alberta immigration file.
