Alberta Opportunity Stream eligibility requirements (brief, practical)
While requirements can change, Alberta’s official AAIP guidance consistently emphasizes these core eligibility pillars:
1) You must be working in Alberta in an eligible occupation
-
At the time you apply and when AAIP assesses your application, you must work in an eligible occupation in Alberta.
-
If your occupation is regulated (or a compulsory trade), you must hold the required Alberta licensing/certification.
2) You must have a full-time job offer/contract from an Alberta employer
-
You need a full-time job offer or employment contract from an Alberta employer in your current occupation (at submission and assessment).
-
Job offer rules exclude certain arrangements (for example, part-time/casual/seasonal roles and some contractor/agency setups).
3) You must have valid work authorization that meets program rules
-
AAIP describes the stream as for temporary foreign workers already working full-time in Alberta with a qualifying job offer, often supported by LMIA or accepted LMIA-exempt work permits.
4) Program intake process matters (EOI / invitations)
-
Alberta has moved to an invitation-based approach (Worker Expression of Interest) for worker streams.
