Alright! So in today's video, we are going to talk about PR options in Alberta.
Like recently we are getting to see that everybody is interested in moving to Alberta.
Between moving and settling in Alberta there's a major point which is your Permanent Residency.
If you are studying or you are on a work permit and you are planning to move to Alberta,
So before you move, you should consider all the PR opportunities that you'll get here.
In today's video, we'll count all the options available and which option will be good for you.
So without wasting much down let's start the video.
So we've opened the website of the Alberta Government.
And I've opened the page "Live Permanently In Alberta".
Here all the immigration programs offered by Alberta Govt. are mentioned.
All the streams are divided into two categories.
One is the stream for workers, which is for the economy class people just like you and me.
Another one is the stream for entrepreneurs, which is for the people who want to start a business here or want to buy any existing business.
I'll go through all the streams one by one so that you'll get the overview and eligibility criteria of all the streams.
So that you'll get to know the best streams for you.
The first one is Alberta opportunity stream.
This stream is very much popular. I'm sure you all must have heard about it.
Its eligibility criteria include - Valid work permit,
Most of the work permits are acceptable here.
But there's one exception that Refugee Claimants and temporary residents living or working in some other province cannot apply for this stream.
This means if you are currently in British Columbia or Ontario or in any province other than Alberta then you cannot apply for PNP, Alberta while sitting there.
Next comes the professions which are acceptable for applying under this stream.
Here NOC-A, B, C, D all are acceptable.
But there's a list of ineligible occupations which are not so common.
It includes Musicians, Actors, Painters, etc. These are not common professions so most probably you are good to go with this.
You can go through this, once.
And then comes one requirement related to work permit.
According to this if you are on a Post-Graduation work permit then your job must be related to your study.
For example: If you've done computers in your studies then your job must be related to computers.
For example, I've done Computer Networks and if you've done Computer Programming then your job must be related to it only. Doing Hotel Management after studying computers will not be acceptable for applying PNP under this stream.
One more thing, whether we talk about work permit requirements or education requirements under this stream, they've mentioned Alberta Graduates.
This means that if you have graduated from some other province then you can not apply for PR under this stream. But yes, there're many other streams under which you can apply for PR.
So we'll talk about them soon.
Then comes the language requirements which is CLB5 for professions under NOC O, A, B
and CLB4 for professions under NOC C and D. These are very common requirements, you need not worry about these.
In education qualifications mostly all the degrees and diplomas are acceptable here.
But if you doubt that your degree/diploma or the college from where you studied will not get accepted then you must visit their website and checkout, the link will be mentioned in the description.
You need only 6 months of work experience that also in the job related to your studies only. You just have to complete 6 months' experience and then you can apply for PR.
It's a very small requirement, you can easily fulfill it even if you got your job late.
The next stream is Alberta Express Entry Stream.
Which is quite easy in comparison to the Opportunity stream (The previous stream that we discussed).
Because a lot of people can apply for this stream. Graduation from Alberta is not a necessary condition to fulfill under this stream.
This stream is further divided into two- one is General Express Entry Stream and another is Accelerated Tech Pathway Candidates.
I'll talk about both in this video.
For Express Entry Stream you must have Express Entry Profile and then after fulfilling all the requirements of Express Entry you must select Alberta under the interest section and that's it.
After creating a profile, you must have 300 CRS which I believe almost everyone has.
If you've studied in Canada then you definitely have 300 CRS so you need not worry about it.
Then there are some factors listed that help in increasing your chance.
You can file for Alberta's PR while sitting somewhere else also, with this stream. The only requirements are whether you have Alberta's job offer or you've done a Canadian degree/diploma or you've any blood relative who is PR or Citizen living in Alberta.
I believe you've done your studies in Canada if you are watching this video.
You just have to get Alberta's job offer which is not so difficult.
It should be a full-time permanent job position.
It shouldn't be something that'll not help you in fulfilling the requirements. You should check it once.
Now if we talk about Tech Path Way, it is quite similar to the General stream.
Again in this, you must have Express Entry Profile and must have mentioned Alberta in the interest section.
The only difference is that you must have work experience in a Technical job. They've given a long list of the Technical Roles eligible for applying PR under this stream.
If you've experience in some technical job and you've job offer for a similar role in Alberta or you're already working for a similar role in Alberta then you are eligible for applying under this stream.
You just have to fill out a web form and send out the details that you've Express Entry Profile and you have got this job offer or you're already working for some role in Alberta.
After that, they'll reach out to you.
This process is faster than General Stream.
Chances are high and the processing time is less in this stream.
So it'll be beneficial for you.
But this is for technical positions only.
The next one is Rural Renewal Stream.
This stream is comparatively very easy but it is for Rural Communities only.
In Ontario, if you don't know then these rural communities have their own PNP programs too which is different from the entire Ontario.
Similarly, Alberta has already had its PNP programs but this stream has its own separate PNP programs.
Here are two ways through which you can become eligible for these programs, one is you've studied from anywhere in Canada
and then you just have to take 1-year of work experience in any of these communities in any field except the ineligible occupation list that the Alberta government has specially mentioned.
You'll just have to complete 1-year of work experience, get the letter of endorsement and you're done.
But if you haven't studied anywhere and are still in India and you come into this community, then you complete your studies, get the job offer, and then file for it.
And the requirements are simple and straightforward. There aren't many complications.
and then comes the streams related to entrepreneurs. In Graduate Entrepreneur Stream, the ones who complete their graduation in Canada can come to Alberta to start their business or they wanna buy a franchise.
Then comes foreign graduate for the ones who are graduated and living in other countries.
Let's say, someone completed his graduation in India and then wanna come here to start a business, then this stream is for that person.
Then comes Rural Entrepreneur Stream, for the ones who want to start a business in some rural area or buy a franchise there thus creating job opportunities.
Then comes the Farm Stream, which came into effect recently. This is for the ones who want to establish a farm business. But yes for all these, you should have financial sources 100%.
and you should have qualifications and knowledge to prove that you are eligible for running a business.
So in this video, I just wanted to tell you quickly about every stream so that you can get aware of the streams Alberta offers in 2022.
And also in which streams you can qualify and will be good for you.
