TFW looks like its people who are working in canada with an LMIA job. I am on a PGWP after I graduated from a university. Am I still a TFW, or am I in a different class?

Im asking because I studied in ontario and I moved to Manitoba for work and after 8 months contract, my new job might be in Alberta.

AINP website says "Temporary Foreign Workers working and residing in a province other than Alberta." are not eligible.

Am I one of them?

Thanks.

Yes, based on my understanding, PGWP worker is a type of TFW.
