Hi, I'm on the same boat but I already have 2 years experience, I think in order to apply for the Alberta Express Entry Stream, you have to have an Expression of Interest which is in my opinion will be applying for AOS, so when you apply for AOS (Alberta Opportunity Stream) if they find out that you are likely established in Canada, they will send you NOI for it if you are already in EE pool, but if not then they will contact you to make one. then you have to accept the NOI in EE pool, If you apply for AOS and you do not qualify for Express entry pool, they will proceed with AOS application and have to wait for the nomination in your email. Correct me if im wrong, what do you understand about this? need some advise too.
