Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about immigrating to Calgary
What is the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)?
The AAIP is Alberta's provincial nominee program that allows the province to nominate individuals for permanent residence based on their ability to contribute to Alberta's economy. A nomination adds 600 points to your CRS score, virtually guaranteeing an Express Entry invitation.
Do I need a job offer to immigrate to Calgary?
Not necessarily. While some AAIP streams require a job offer from an Alberta employer, the Alberta Express Entry Stream can nominate candidates without a job offer if they meet certain criteria, including having a strong connection to Alberta.
How long does Alberta immigration processing take?
AAIP processing times vary by stream. The Alberta Express Entry Stream typically processes nominations in 2-3 months. After receiving your nomination, the federal PR application usually takes an additional 6 months.
What industries have the most immigration opportunities in Calgary?
Calgary's economy is driven by oil and gas, technology, finance, and healthcare. These sectors frequently have labor shortages and offer strong pathways for skilled workers through both federal and provincial immigration programs.
Can international students in Calgary apply for permanent residence?
Yes! International students who graduate from Alberta institutions may be eligible for Post-Graduation Work Permits and can pursue permanent residence through Express Entry, the Alberta Opportunity Stream, or entrepreneur streams.
