The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) has temporarily suspended Alberta Opportunity Stream applications until further notice. Applications submitted before the pause will continue to be assessed. The AAIP remains committed to ensuring the successful settlement and integration of newcomers in Alberta. This pause will allow the program to manage its current inventory and focus on priorities like filling labour shortages in healthcare, technology, construction, agriculture, tourism, hospitality, and other in-demand sectors. In addition, the province will implement measures to manage future application volumes and maintain service standards.
