Question 1

Does the Alberta AAIP use a points system like BC or Saskatchewan?

Accepted Answer

No. Alberta's AAIP does not publish a public numeric points grid for its main streams. Eligibility is assessed against each stream's specific requirements — a job offer, work history, occupation, and language ability — which is why this tool gives a plain-language fit screen rather than a score.

Question 2

If I get a 'Likely fit' result, am I guaranteed a nomination?

Accepted Answer

No. 'Likely fit' means your answers align with a stream's core structure — it does not mean AAIP will select, nominate, or approve your application. Every AAIP stream involves a full application that AAIP assesses on its own merits, and Express Entry-linked streams additionally depend on receiving an invitation.

Question 3

I don't have an Alberta job offer — do I have any AAIP options?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. The Alberta Express Entry Stream and Accelerated Tech Pathway can select candidates directly from the federal Express Entry pool without requiring you to already hold an Alberta job offer, though ties to Alberta and priority occupations improve your chances. An RCIC can review your full profile against current AAIP invitation patterns.
