The process of getting the Provincial Nomination from Alberta is really simple. After having completed the abovementioned formalities, the prospective immigrant will receive an immigration nomination. This will add 600 CRS points to their profile and thus will virtually guarantee selection in the upcoming Express Entry draws. However, before the points are added to the immigration profile of a candidate, they will first need to create a profile and provide all the required information in order to complete it.

If English is your first language, then you must obtain a basic score of 7 CLB across the different segments of the IELTS exam i.e. reading, writing, listening and speaking.
