In this article, you will read about Alberta First Draw. Alberta is in Western Canada. It is one of the fastest-growing provinces in the nation. This province draws top professionals. This is because it offers an amazing environment and a thriving job market. Yes, Alberta and the AAIP are the most alluring. They are part of Canada’s three Prairie provinces.
Alberta has a varied topography. It includes boreal forests and arid regions. The province also has snow-covered mountains, glacial lakes, and lush prairies. The province has many natural resources. These include minerals, oil, coal, and natural gas. Alberta is also known for its oil sands. These resources make Alberta Canada’s energy-rich area.
IRCC sets the most nomination certificates that the AAIP can issue each year. The federal government allotted some nomination certificates to AAIP. This happened in 2023. We have reached that number. The 2024 allocation for AAIP is still pending. In 2024 and 2025, we expect the nomination allotment to increase. It will rise by over 10,000 per year. We will provide more details on the 2024 allotment when they become available. They will include the split between Express Entry and non-Express Entry pathways.
