TR to PR Update

AAIP has changed how most worker streams work. In many cases, workers can no longer start by submitting a full application directly. Instead, they now need to submit a Worker Expression of Interest, enter the pool, and wait to be selected.

This applies to major streams such as the Alberta Opportunity Stream, Alberta Express Entry Stream, Rural Renewal Stream, and Tourism and Hospitality Stream. A Worker EOI is not a nomination application. It is a pre application stage where your profile is scored and ranked based on factors like human capital, economic factors, and adaptability.

Important points to know:
You can only have one Worker EOI at a time.
Your EOI stays valid for 12 months.
Selection depends on score, labour market priorities, nomination spaces, and application levels.
As of April 7, 2026, there is a $135 Worker EOI fee.
