As of September 30th, 2024, applicants looking to apply under one of four streams under the AAIP must submit an EOI to the province.
These streams include:
Under these streams, applicants could previously apply directly for provincial nomination rather than entering a pool to be ranked against other applicants. The move to an Expression of Interest system suggests that the demand for these programs outweighs the available spots, allowing the province to be more selective in who they accept.聽
Before the release of the new Worker EOI system, the AAIP conducted monthly application acceptance periods whereby streams were only available for a limited time each month. With the introduction of the Worker EOI, these monthly application acceptance dates will be abandoned as this new system will allow the AAIP to periodically select applicants’ from the EOI pool.聽
Although the AAIP has not committed to a timeline of draws, it has confirmed that the first draw for the worker streams will take place mid to late October 2024.

It is impossible to say with certainty how many invitations will be issued during the AAIP worker draws.聽 However, we can look at past stream demands to get an idea of which streams may see the most invites given a factor in issuing invites will be available quotas and application levels.聽
To date, the majority of worker streams have seen high interest in nominations when compared to the annual quota allocated for each stream. Add to this, most of these streams have a huge backlog of applications to get through. This table summarises the data available per stream.
In light of this, we expect smaller draws for the Express Entry, Opportunity and Rural Renewal streams and more activity for the Tourism and Hospitality Stream.聽
Once applicants have submitted a Worker EOI, they will receive a ranking score out of 100, according to the Worker EOI Points Grid.
Points are awarded as follows:
A full can be found on the AAIP official website.
The AAIP will select and invite candidates from the worker pool, inviting them to apply for provincial nominations. Applicants will be selected from the pool based on their EOI score rankings along and provincial labour market needs.聽
If you are hoping to apply to one of the four streams using the Worker EOI, you should carefully review your eligibility for the stream as well as the ranking factors that will make up your ranking score.聽
Knowing your ranking score will allow you to identify areas of improvement that can be worked on to ensure you get the highest ranking score available to you.
In addition to this, you should also review other AAIP EOI鈥檚 you have in the system and assess which you are more likely to be successful with. This is because the AAIP only allows applicants to have one EOI at any given time.聽
If you have a draft application in progress under any of the four streams, you won’t be able to submit an EOI. Make sure to clean up your Alberta online account to get ready for the Worker EOI opening.
