You also have to pass through the radar of Federal Government of Canada who looks for the medical and criminal background. Your P.R. can get cancel on these grounds alone.
Let us take a detailed look at all the streams available under AINP.
- Employer Driven Stream
The Employer Driven Stream is introduced to cater the vacant labor positions in the Province of Alberta as the Government was unable to find the relevant personnel from within of Canada. You need to have a binding job offer from an employer whose place of work is on the turf of the Province of Alberta. The employer must also apply under the stream for your application to be considered. It is further divided into three sub- heads which are as follows:
- The Skilled Worker
Immigrants who have a job offer in a skilled occupation i.e. NOC level (0, A or B) in Canada can apply under the skilled worker category.
- Semi- Skilled Worker
This category caters to those immigrants who are currently working in the Province of Alberta as semi- skilled workers.
- International Students
This category includes international students who had completed masters or post graduate diploma from a Canadian University and is offered a permanent and full-time job from a Canadian Employer.
- Strategic Recruitment Stream
This stream does not require a job offer from a Canadian Employer nor need them to apply for this program with their employer unlike in the Employer Driven System. This caters to those immigrants who are presently employed in the Province of Alberta. This program is specially made to turn the status of these individuals from working visa to permanent residents. It is further divided into three sub- heads which are as follows:
- Compulsory and Optional Trades
People under this sub- head can change their temporary work visa into permanent residency who owns a validtrade license for particular occupations.

All those persons who had worked on the post of an Engineer in the Province of Alberta can apply for permanent residency under this head.

The individuals who want to apply for P.R. under this head must submit the evidence which can state their financial accountability to buy a farm in Alberta and the prior work experience in functioning a farm. You can apply in this category only if you have the means to purchase and operate a farm. Individuals should supply relevant documents confirming their net worth of at least half a million Canadian dollars. This amount is needed to invest in a farm to be eligible for P.R.
