The office of Alberta’s Minister of Labour and Immigration confirmed in an email to CIC News about the launch of the new Foreign Graduate Start-up Visa Stream on January 27, 2021. It also said that there is no set quota for applications, however, they reserve the right to limit application intake and provincial nominations under this stream.

 

An Expression of Interest (EOI) is a means for interested candidates to let AINP know their consent for a provincial nomination for permanent residence (PR) under a particular stream, in this case, the newly launched Foreign Graduate Start-up Visa Stream

 

Interested candidates are required to take a questionnaire while submitting EOI online. It includes a series of questions on their education, work experience, and proficiency in English or French, among other factors. Further, the profiles are scored and ranked based on the questionnaire. Contact our Business Consultants to know more details and get maximum points.
