Alberta publishes results of new PNP draw, CRS score drops

Alberta has declared the results of the new PNP draw held on April 20. The province has invited a total of 200 Express Entry candidates this time. These candidates are now eligible to secure a provincial nomination from Alberta. Alberta is famous for inviting express entry candidates with low Comprehensive Ranking System scores. The province has invited candidates with a CRS score of 301 only.  Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program has invited candidates through the enhanced PNP stream that is the Express Entry stream. 

AINP: Express Entry Stream

Express Entry candidates can apply to the AINP’s Express Entry Stream if they have a profile in the federal express entry. In addition, they require work experience in one of the eligible occupations that can support the province in economic development.

AINP receives many applications from some occupations

The Alberta Express Entry stream is receiving a large number of applications in some occupations. And therefore, it is taking longer for the province to process applications. 

Following are the occupations in which the applications process might be delayed: 

• Truck drivers

• Cooks
• Early childhood educators
• Food service supervisors
• Administrative officers
• Retail sales supervisors
• Administrative assistants
• Accounting technicians and bookkeepers.
