The Latest Alberta PNP Draw Had A CRS Cut-off As Low As 300

On June 12, 2020, Alberta has released the details for the May 27 PNP (Provincial Nominee Program). Under this Alberta PNP draw, the CRS Cut-off was set as low as the 300, that too for a second time in May. The AINP (Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program) issued 148 applications to the applicants, who were eligible under the provincial nomination under the province of Alberta. If you’ve applied under this program, then you need to have a CRS score of 300 or more than that. The selected candidates need to have a profile under the Federal Express Entry System.

You all know that Express Entry System, is the fastest and the easiest route to get Canada PR. There are 3 federal streams under the Canada Express Entry such as, Federal Skilled Worker’s Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class.

Under this, the candidate’s profile is ranked on the basis of CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System). The CRS takes into account several factors such as the human capital factors (age, work experience, levels of education, language proficiency etc), Spouse or common-law factors, skill transferability factors or some additional factors. It’s a total 1200 point-based system. The candidates with the highest scores get an ITA (Invitation to Apply), to apply for the Canadian PR.

Keeping the essential coronavirus updates in mind, the AINP requires the candidates to meet the following requirements such as:

• You should be currently working in Alberta, even if you’re working from home.
• You should have a work permit, that allows you to work in your current job.
• You must have a full-time job, that too paid. Under this you must be able to meet the provincial minimum age.
• You must work in an eligible occupation, listed in the NOC of Alberta. 

So, as per this year, Alberta has issued 1746 invitations to the Express Entry Candidates. On the other hand, the Alberta Express Entry stream invited 6884 invitations. If we talk about the year of 2020, the Alberta provincial nomination allocations have not been released yet.
