As per the latest update from the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program, all candidates except those under Self-Employed Farmer Stream can apply for most of the programs using AINP's online portal.
Starting October 1, 2020, the process of application submission to the AINP can be done through online portal.
In case of Alberta Express Entry Stream, the candidates must obtain an authorization for accessing the new portal.
With an AINP portal eligible candidates can apply to AINP online, review their application status and update required information for online application. With an online access, all these tasks would become easier for candidates.
Moreover, an AINP portal would also help the candidates get tips about entering the data, customizing documentation list and save an application draft to complete the same at another time.
The system will perform an assessment to confirm if the candidates meet key criteria. In case any candidate fails to meet the criteria, his/her application will be declined.
All applications that'll be submitted through AINP's online portal on or after October 1, will be subjected to a processing fee of $500.
Under Alberta Opportunity and Express Entry Streams, candidates are not required to submit processing fee, if applications are submitted via mail on or before October 1.
Under Self-Employed Farmer Stream, application fee is not required by the candidates who will submit application via mail on or before October 1, whereas, for applications submitted after October 1, candidates must pay the required fee.
Please note, once you submit your application, the application fee amount will be non-refundable. Since the fee includes the application processing cost as well, thus, it is mandatory and non-refundable, no matter whether you receive your nomination certificate or not.
