Province of Alberta issues 180 Notification of Letters (NOIs) in the latest round of invitations to the candidates who have applied for a provincial nomination for Canadian permanent residency through its express entry linked in the draw held on July 5.
Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) has an express entry linked stream – Alberta Express Entry Stream that allows the province of Alberta to search for the candidates with the required skills and work experience in the federal government’s express pool. Candidates need to meet the stream’s eligibility criteria. Candidates with the low CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) of 425 points were issued the NOIs in the latest draw.
Federal Government’s Express Entry Program is a point-based program managing the pool of the candidates registered under Canada’s three skilled economic programs – Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Profiles of the candidates are ranked in the express pool on the basis of points awarded to the express profiles based on the factors like age, work experience, language proficiency, and education.
Then, the profiles with the highest rank have then issued the ITAs to apply for Canada PR Visa through regularly held express draws.
If an express entry candidate, is able to land the provincial nomination they are awarded 600 CRS points. These many points make sure that the candidate is able to get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) that allows the candidates to apply for Canada PR Visa to the Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Now, to be eligible for Alberta’s express entry linked stream candidates do not require a job offer or previous work experience in the province. However, candidates are required to show “strong ties to Alberta” and must be working in an occupation that supports the province’s economic development and diversification priorities. Province gives priority to the candidates with:

Alberta has invited candidates with the CRS score as low as 300 points through their Express entry linked stream on four occasions.

Ever since I have spoken to Team Nationwide, I have received all kinds of support I have looked for, starting from transcripts to IELTS coaching, they have helped me with everything. I already have referred three of my friends to them because of the fabulous service delivered by them and shall be doing it in the future too.
Quality work and friendliness is why I decided to opt for Nationwide Visas for preparing my application for Permanent Residence in Canada. Today, my parents are proud of me for making the right choice, it has all become possible because of Nationwide.
Nothing influences me more than a recommendation from a trusted friend, I got reference for Nationwide Visas through one of my friends, who got his ITA with the help of Team Nationwide. They explained the documentation process in detail and made the correct recommendations that I cherish now.
Before initiating the immigration process, I was a bit skeptical, however, after having a word with their consultant who explained the whole process to me over the phone without trying to sell their service, I felt assured. I did not give it a second thought and initiated my immigration process. All the case managers at Nationwide Visas are well-versed with the process and never fall short of expectations whenever I walk up to them with any queries.
For the past 4 months, I had been struggling with understanding the immigration process and was looking for a consultant who could not only explain the process, but also guide me regarding what all options were available to me. So, after reading their reviews, I approached Nationwide Visas, and true to their reviews, they explained the whole process to me while also giving me clear information about the chances I had at securing Canada PR Visa.
