The new Alberta permanent residency scoring system will open on September 30, 2024, for individuals aiming to receive an invitation to apply for Alberta’s worker immigration streams.
Alberta Advantage Immigration Program’s (AAIP) new system aims to streamline the selection process, aligning candidate profiles with Alberta’s labour market needs.
The Worker EOI is designed to help Alberta attract skilled workers to meet its economic and demographic requirements.
The program will allow candidates to declare their qualifications, skills, and work experience, which will then be scored and ranked.
Importantly, there is no fee to submit a Worker EOI, making this an accessible step for eligible candidates.

Key Highlights of the new AAIP Worker EOI System
- No Fee to Submit: There is no charge to submit a Worker EOI, making it accessible for all eligible candidates.
- Scoring and Ranking: Candidates’ profiles will be assessed based on several human capital and economic factors, such as education, language proficiency, work experience, age, and family connections in Alberta.
- Ongoing Draws: The AAIP will regularly conduct draws from the Worker Stream pool, selecting candidates based on their EOI scores, Alberta’s labour market needs, and the availability of nominations.
- Invitation to Apply: Selected candidates will receive an invitation to apply for the relevant worker streams via email.
How the Worker EOI System Works
Upon submitting a worker EOI, candidates will self-declare their qualifications through the AAIP portal.
The EOI form requires detailed information that will be evaluated using the AAIP’s points grid.
This points grid considers multiple factors, each contributing to the overall score out of a maximum of 100 points.
Once the Worker EOI is submitted, candidates are placed into a Worker Stream pool, where ongoing draws will occur.
These draws will begin in mid-to-late October 2024, so there is no immediate rush to submit an EOI as soon as the system opens.
Understanding the New Alberta Permanent Residency Points Grid
The Worker EOI points grid is crucial for candidates, as it determines eligibility and ranking in the draws.
Here’s a breakdown of the scoring system:
Education (Max 22 points):
- Higher education levels receive more points, with doctorate holders scoring 12 points, master’s degree holders earning 10, and bachelor’s or trades certificates/diplomas earning 7 points.
- Completing education in Alberta adds 10 points, while those educated in other Canadian provinces get 6 points.
Language Proficiency (Max 13 points):
- Candidates need a minimum of CLB 4 in English or NCLC 4 in French to qualify. Higher language scores contribute more points, with a CLB 6 or higher earning up to 10 points. Additional points (up to 3) are available for bilingual proficiency.
Work Experience (Maximum 21 points):
- Work experience is critical, with 12 months or more earning 11 points. Those with Canadian work experience in Alberta can earn up to an additional 10 points.
Age (maximum 5 points):
- Candidates aged 21-34 receive the maximum points (5), while other age groups earn slightly fewer points.
Family Connections in Alberta (Max 8 points):
- Having immediate family members in Alberta adds up to 8 points, benefiting those with established ties in the province.
Economic Factors (maximum 31 points):
- Holding a job offer in Alberta, particularly in specific sectors or rural areas, provides significant points. Job offers in regulated occupations that meet Alberta’s standards can add up to 10 points.
Preparing for the Worker EOI Submission
Candidates should take several preparatory steps before submitting their Worker EOI:
- Confirm Eligibility: Review eligibility criteria for the AAIP worker streams and ensure you meet the requirements.
- Understand the Points Grid: Familiarize yourself with the points grid to identify areas that can maximize your score.
- Manage Existing Applications: Only one EOI can be active at a time. Withdraw any existing Worker or Entrepreneur EOIs or AAIP applications before submitting a new EOI.
- Set Up an Alberta.ca Account: Ensure you have a valid Alberta.ca account to access the AAIP portal. This account can be basic or verified.
The Worker EOI system aligns Alberta’s immigration processes with its evolving labour market demands.
This targeted approach is designed to attract the right talent, giving preference to individuals with skills in high demand within the province.
Final Thoughts
As the Worker EOI system launches on September 30, 2024, candidates should carefully assess their profiles against the points grid and prepare their applications accordingly.
By strategically aligning their EOIs with Alberta’s needs, candidates can enhance their chances of receiving an invitation to apply.
