It’s a new PNP program, they will pick up candidates from the EE pool, same as Ontario.
This is new stream [Alberta Opportunity Stream] for the PNP nominations .. which will start from Jan 02 2018 .
The selection creteria says :
1. Occupation requirements : Most occupations under National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill levels 0, A, B, C and D are eligible under the AINP.
2) Residency status and work permit requirements
At the time your application is postmarked and at the time the AINP assesses your application:
You must have valid temporary resident status in Canada that authorizes you to work in Canada.
You must have a valid work permit (not implied status or restoration status) for an eligible occupation .
this above two statements implies that you must be living and working in Alberta to be eligible for PNP , so this is not the same as "Ontario Human Capital Priorities Stream"
Could you please share your thoughts,if my understanding is incorrect.
