Hi everyone,

I have a few doubts related to AAIP (Accelerated Tech Pathway).
  1. Is it a Pool or Queue
    1. Is it a similar kind of pool like Express Entry, where candidates are picked up based on their current CRS score? OR
    2. it is just a queue, where applications are processed in first-in-first-out fashion, where CRS score doesn't matter as long as the candidate meets eligibility criteria like having a Tech job offer under a given NOC, with min CRS score 300 etc.
  2. Express entry general draw or PNP specific draw
    1. Once a nomination is received, 600 points directly gets added to the CRS score and ITA is issued as soon as a general draw happens on the Express Entry pool OR
    2. Is it a separate PNP specific draw needs to happen to get an ITA?
  3. Moving to Alberta
    1. After getting the AAIP nomination, is it mandatory to be present in Alberta and working with company while PR is still under process, may be even ITA is not issued? OR
    2. Move to Alberta (from inside or outside Canada) once the PR is approved
These questions appears to be bit tricky and not able to find out any clear answers to them. Most likely people who have gone via these streams have better knowledge on this. So any information related to this is really appreciated.

Thanks.
