Changes to the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) as of October 1, 2020

As of October 1, 2020 the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) has made several changes to its program:

·         A new online portal is available to submit applications.

·         Candidates must pay a fee to submit an application, as well for post-decision services (requests for nomination extensions, 204(c) Letters of Support and reconsiderations).

·         Some AINP processes have changed with the introduction of fees:

o   204(c) Letters of Support are no longer issued at the time of nomination.  Nominees must submit a request to be considered for a 204(c) Letter of Support.

o   All requests for post-decision services must be sent by email.

o   The steps for applying to the Self-Employed Farmer Stream have changed.

·         Changes have been made to several of our temporary COVID-19 application and processing adjustments.

·         Updates and corrections to AINP applications must be sent by email.
