Program Structure and Evaluation
The AAIP outlines structured immigration pathways based on factors like education, work experience, and job offers. The program utilizes an Expression of Interest (EOI) system, where candidates are assessed using a points-based system.

Work Experience Requirements
Applicants must demonstrate relevant work experience aligned with program requirements. The AAIP specifies how foreign work experience is assessed and how it contributes to eligibility and a candidate's overall points score. The program also addresses general requirements related to job offers and employment in Alberta.
Application Process and Support
The AAIP provides guidance on submitting applications, required documentation, and the general processing timelines. The information aims to assist applicants in understanding the stages of their immigration journey through the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program.
