The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) is a provincial nominee program (PNP) specific to the province of Alberta in Canada. It is designed to facilitate the immigration of skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international graduates who have the intention to settle in Alberta.

Under the AINP, there are various streams and categories through which individuals can apply for nomination by the province. These streams include the Alberta Opportunity Stream (AOS), the Alberta Express Entry Stream, the Self-Employed Farmer Stream, and the Alberta Foreign Graduate Entrepreneur Program.

The AINP enables the Alberta government to nominate candidates who possess the skills and qualifications that align with the province’s economic needs and labor market demands. Successful nominees can then apply for permanent residence in Canada through the federal immigration system, enhancing their opportunities for long-term settlement in Alberta.
