New Canada Permanent Residency Scoring System | Canada Immigration

In anticipation of September 30, when Alberta is set to introduce a new permanent residence score system, prospective IMR participants are curious about how these changes might impact their application procedures. By streamlining the selection criteria, this revised scoring system hopes to facilitate qualified workers’ and their families’ relocation to the province.

Alberta continues to support diversity and community development while working to improve its labor market by giving preference to applicants with in-demand experiences and abilities.

Introduction

On September 30, 2024, the new Alberta permanent residency scoring system will be available to anyone hoping to be invited to apply for one of the province’s worker immigration streams. The new approach for the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program seeks to expedite the selection procedure by matching candidate profiles with the demands of Alberta’s labor market.

The worker’s purpose is to assist Alberta in luring in skilled labor to fulfill its demographic and economic demands. Candidates will be able to declare their employment history, talents, and qualifications through the software; these will then be graded and scored. Crucially, there is no cost to submit an employee, making this a stage that qualified individuals may easily access.

Key Highlights of the New Worker System

• No submission fee: All qualified applicants can submit a worker without paying anything. Several economic and human capital criteria, including age, family ties in Alberta, work experience, education, and language competence, will be taken into consideration when rating and evaluating candidate profiles.
• Draws from the worker stream pool will be conducted regularly by the app, which will choose applicants based on their scores, the demands of Alberta’s labor market, and the availability of nominations.
• Invitation to Apply: Email invitations to apply for the appropriate worker streams will be sent to the chosen candidates.

How the Work System Works

Through the IRCC site, candidates will self-declare their qualifications after submitting a work array. The form asks for specific data that will be assessed using the points grid developed by the AIPP. This scoring system takes into account several variables, each of which adds to the final result, which is limited to 100 points.

Candidates are added to a worker stream pool after they are submitted and draws will take place continuously. There is no need to submit as soon as the system opens because these draws will start in mid-to late-October 2024.

Understanding the New Alberta Permanent Residency Points Grid

For applicants, the points grid is essential because it establishes their eligibility and order in the drawings. This is a summary of the rating scheme.

• Education (Maximum 22 points): Doctorate holders score 12 points, master’s degree holders score 10, and bachelor’s degree, trade certificate, and SL diploma holders score seven points. Higher education levels are awarded more points. Education completed in Alberta is worth ten points, whereas education completed in other Canadian provinces is worth six points.
• Language proficiency (Max 13 points): To be eligible, candidates must receive at least a CLB 4 in English or an NCLC 4 in French. A CLB of six or above earns up to 10 points, with higher language scores contributing more points. For multilingual proficiency, additional points up to three are possible.
• Work experience is important and can earn up to 21 points. Experience lasting 12 months or more is worth 11 points. Albertans who have worked in Canada before are eligible to receive an extra 10 points.
• Age (maximum 5 points): Candidates between the ages of 21 and 34 score the highest possible five points, with the remaining age categories scoring marginally lower.
• Family Connections in Alberta (Maximum 8 Points): Those with established ties to the province are favored since having immediate family members in Alberta adds up to eight points.
• Economic reasons (up to 31 points): having an offer of employment in Alberta, especially in a particular industry or in a rural region, earns important points. Offers of employment and regulated professions that satisfy Alberta’s requirements can total ten points.

Preparing for the Work or a Submission

Applicants have to do several preliminary actions before turning in their work array.

• Verify your eligibility by going over the standards for the I worker streams and making sure you meet them.
• Recognize the points grid: Learn how to read the points grid so you can pinpoint spots where you can score as high as possible.
• Handle active applications: only one array at a time may be in use. Before submitting a new application, withdraw any active ones for employees or business owners.
• Create an account on alberta.ca: In order to use the IRCC portal, make sure you have a working alberta.ca account. This account can be verified or just basic.

The worker system matches the changing needs of Alberta’s labor market with immigration procedures. This focused strategy aims to draw in the best talent by favoring those with highly sought-after skills.

Final Thoughts

Candidates should carefully evaluate their profiles against the point grid once the worker system begins on September 30, 2024, and then tailor their applications accordingly. Through careful alignment of their array with Alberta’s demands, contenders can increase their likelihood of being invited to apply.

Make sure your profile is prepared in advance of the next draws by visiting the official IRCC website for further details and to remain informed about the draws. The province of Alberta’s immigration policy has undergone a substantial change with the introduction of its new permanent residence scoring system.

Focusing on drawing in talented workers who can boost the province’s economy, Alberta is strengthening its workforce and reiterating its commitment to building a dynamic, inclusive community. Prospective applicants should keep themselves updated about the specifics of the new scoring criteria as the launch date draws near to increase their chances of being granted permanent residency in this dynamic province.
