Hi guys..me and my wife we are in the Express entry pool with 370 pts, residing in Alberta. We got this letter via email. What does this mean
Alberta would like to consider you under their Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Dear ......
The Government of Alberta is interested in considering you for nomination under its
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) through Express Entry.
If you want Alberta to consider you for nomination under its PNP you must contact
Alberta directly after receiving this letter. Note that this letter of interest is not a
guarantee that you will be nominated by Alberta. You will first have to satisfy
Alberta that you meet the requirements of their program.
You can find general information about each province or territory's PNP program on the
website. You will also find a link to Alberta's PNP requirements and contact information.
General information:
If a province or territory nominates you through Express Entry and you accept the PNP
nomination you will be allocated an additional 600 points in the Express Entry
Comprehensive Ranking System. This means you will likely receive an invitation to
apply for permanent residence under the Provincial Nominee Program.
If you accept a nomination, you are indicating to both Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and that provincial or territorial jurisdiction that you intend to
live in that province or territory and that you will comply with any other provincial or
territorial program requirements.
Once you accept a nomination, your profile will no longer be visible to other provinces
and territories, so you will not be considered for nomination by other jurisdictions. You
will also not be considered for federal economic programs in Express Entry.
If a province or territory nominates you and you decline the PNP nomination, you will
not be invited to apply under Alberta's nominee program.
It is possible to be nominated by more than one province or territory, but you may only
accept one nomination.
If you decline the nomination, you will stay in the Express Entry pool of candidates. You
will still be eligible to receive invitations to apply under the federal immigration programs
(Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and/or Canadian
Experience Class). As well, other provinces and territories (if applicable) will be able to
see your profile for future consideration.
You are not obligated to:
• contact a province or territory that is interested in you, or
• accept a nomination from a province or territory.
However, if you do not accept a nomination, there is no guarantee that you will be
nominated by another province or territory, or that you will be invited to apply under a
federal economic program in Express Entry.
A PNP nomination does not guarantee that you are eligible for permanent residence.
The final decision to issue a visa or other document for permanent residence rests with
IRCC.
