An Overview of May 5 AINP draw
Number of Invitations Issued	Ranking score of the lowest-ranked federal Express Entry candidate invited
250	CRS 300

Note. - CRS: Comprehensive Ranking System that ranks Express Entry candidates, based on a score allotted out of a maximum of 1,200 points. A PNP nomination fetches 600 CRS points.

This is the ninth AINP draw to be held in 2021 so far. The previous AINP draw was held on April 20, 2021.

AINP invitations are also referred to as Notification of Interest [NOI] letters.

Those invited can now proceed to applying for an AINP nomination – under the Alberta Express Entry Stream – for Canadian permanent residence.

No direct applications are accepted for the Alberta Express Entry Stream.   Through the Alberta Express Entry Stream, the AINP nominates a specific number of qualified candidates from the Express Entry System of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada [IRCC].   Those with strong ties to Alberta or who have the potential of supporting the Alberta government’s economic diversification and development priorities might be asked to submit an AINP application.   International graduates from post-secondary institutions in Canada might also be asked to apply to the AINP through the Alberta Express Entry Stream.

The AINP Express Entry stream is linked with the federal Express Entry system. On a regular basis, the AINP reviews the candidates available in the IRCC Express Entry pool, selecting candidates from the pool and inviting them to submit their completed application to the AINP.

A PNP nomination guarantees an ITA from IRCC.

With the latest round of invitations, Alberta PNP has invited 1,659 Canada immigration hopefuls so far in 2021.
