Hi, I am a Software Engineering graduate in Calgary. Has anyone applied for Alberta Accelerated Tech Pathaway?

I recently graduated but I don't have a job offer yet. I did well in IELTS and I did a 1.5 year Co-Op. My sister is a Canadian citizen. Accordingly, my CRS score is 490. I am planning to apply for my PGWP soon.

Can I apply for Alberta Accelerated pathaway or do I need a job to be eligible to apply?

I read the requirements. I don't have a job offer but I did a co-op for 1.5 years in data science. I was wondering whether I'd have to wait for a job offer or if there is a way to apply w/o one. Market isn't great so I couldn't land a job yet. My brother is a Canadian citizen and my CRS score is ~485-490. I'd appreciate any advice

For tech pathway, you need a job offer so not eligible. Job offer is mandatory. Look at regular AINP EE stream.
