AINP Conducts Draws For 350 Letters Of Interest

The data for 350 NOIs for the January 18th, 2022 immigration draw has been disclosed, with the lowest-ranked candidate receiving a CRS score of 346.

The Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) received 350 Notifications of Interest from Express Entry candidates with a CRS score of at least 346 who wanted to be considered for a provincial nomination. This score has risen by one point since the November draw, and after being stable at 300 CRS points for several months, it now fluctuates between 300 and 351. One month following the date of the draw, the information on invitations is made public.

Certificates of Nomination are limited.

For the year 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) gave Alberta 6,250 certificates of nomination. According to the information as of February 1, 2022, the AINP will continue to assess applications in the queue, but no new certificates will be awarded until January 2022.

There are about 350 Alberta Opportunity Stream applications and 775 expressions of interest in the Alberta Express Entry pool.
