On June 3, 2024, the Alberta Immigration Bureau announced: The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) employer-sponsored immigration will reopen on June 11. The Alberta Immigration Bureau had announced the suspension of this program on February 15, and now it is reopening. What exactly happened behind the scenes for this Canadian immigration program to take such a sharp turn?
The reopened Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) employer-sponsored immigration has not changed the applicant eligibility, but has published new application rules. The new rules show that four application categories under the Alberta Provincial Nominee Program—Alberta Employer-sponsored Immigration (AOS), Alberta Rural Employer-sponsored Immigration (RRS), Alberta EE program, and Alberta Tourism and Hospitality Stream—must compete for quotas every month, returning to the era of "competing for speed."
The Alberta Immigration Bureau stated: "This quota-competing application method will provide applicants with multiple application opportunities per year, allowing them to actively participate in the immigration program throughout the year." Simply put, when quotas are released each month, applicants for these programs must compete for them on a first-come, first-served basis.
Application submission dates for each month and quota numbers for each category
For the remainder of 2024, a specific number of applications will be accepted each month (i.e., quotas will be released). The dates are: June 11, July 9, August 13, September 10, October 8, November 5, and December 10 (all Tuesdays). Once the target number of applications is reached, the portal will be closed until applications are accepted the following month. Therefore, those planning to apply should seize the opportunity!
Alberta is one of Canada's three prairie provinces, adjacent to British Columbia and Saskatchewan, with a total population of approximately 4.6 million. Alberta enjoys sunshine year-round, with over 300 days of sunshine annually, beautiful surroundings, and a pleasant climate. According to Canadian census data, there are currently 200,000 Chinese living in Alberta. Alberta has a mature Chinese community, housing prices are affordable, and it is also a shopping paradise in Canada, benefiting from Canada's lowest 5% consumption tax rate. With its low cost of living, it is very friendly for new immigrants to settle and purchase property.

Moreover, immigrating to Canada through this Rural Renewal Stream has a low entry threshold, a simple application process, and fast approval times.
