The application management system for three programs is the Express Entry. The three programs are the Federal High Skilled Canadian Experience Class, Federal Skilled Worker Program, and Federal Skilled Trades Program.

 You will get a score base on the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) if you are eligible for the Express Entry. You get points depending on your age, education, work experience, language ability in English or French, and other factors. The department of Canada’s immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) holds Express Entry draws regularly, inviting the highest-scoring candidates to apply for permanent residence.

If you want to immigrate through the Express Entry system without a provincial nomination, it is possible but PNP is opted by people who have low CRC scores. It has proved extremely beneficial for them. Provincial nominees automatically get 600 points added to their overall score. If the lowest-scoring candidates in the new Alberta draw receive the nomination, their new CRS scores will be 900, more than enough to be invited in a subsequent Express Entry draw.

To be eligible for the provincial nomination through the Alberta Express Entry stream, you need to have work experience in an eligible occupation. The AINP does not provide a list of eligible occupations; rather it offers a list of occupations that are not eligible for the stream.
