Nomination certificate limits
The following numbers are accurate as of October 1, 2020.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) set the limits for nominations the AINP can issue each year. IRCC provided 6,250 nomination certificates to Alberta for 2020. However, as announced in Alberta’s Economic Recovery Plan, the AINP will not be issuing more than 4,000 nomination certificates in 2020, reducing the use of nomination certificates by more than one third.

3,720 nomination certificates have been issued so far in 2020.

There are approximately 1,525 Alberta Opportunity Stream applications and 125 expression of interest applications in the Alberta Express Entry pool.

Information on application volumes and processing is available to help you determine the status of your application.

The AINP does not provide status updates.

New AINP online portal
Starting October 1, 2020, all candidates (except Self-Employed Farmer Stream candidates) can apply online using the AINP portal. Alberta Express Entry Stream candidates must receive authorization from the AINP to access the portal.

The AINP portal was designed to make the application for candidates easy. Candidates receive tips on how to enter data, a customized list of documents and can save a draft application to complete at a later date. The system does an initial assessment on eligibility, and ensures that candidates who clearly do not meet basic criteria do not waste time and money submitting an application.

Check out the new AINP Portal. https://www.alberta.ca/ainp-updates.aspx

Application fees
All applications submitted using the AINP online portal on or after October 1, 2020 are subject to a $500 processing fee. The application fee is non-refundable once an application has been submitted. The fee covers the cost of processing the application and is required whether a nomination certificate is issued or not.

Can you please explain why they will not issue nominations as on the website not all 4000 nominations have been issued yet

@ASrivastava HI, I am a NOC 2173 as well. I just submitted my EE profile yesterday, and I only get 437 points since I only have 1 year of experience. I m wondering if you apply for EE or AOS?

You are right.
Having an EE profile is not enough. You need to create a profile and pay the fee.

So outlanders should do that as well?

"Alberta Express Entry Stream candidates must receive authorization from the AINP to access the portal."

It's clearly mentioned that Alberta EE candidates can only access the portal after receiving NOI. Though, creating MyAlberta ID is mandatory

I hope they provide more information. They said the EE candidates can only access the portal after receiving NOI, but they do not do any draw. Also, since they won't issue more than 4000 nomination certificates this year. Not sure if they still do the Alberta EE draw.

I guess they probably wouldn't do any more EE draw for this year, the remaining certificates are for those who's AR date is before April 22 and their applications were put on hold due to the pandemic
