Work-Ready Immigrants: Alberta and Changes

work-ready immigrants: The changes will begin on Jan. 2, 2018, when the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program AINP streams and categories will be consolidated under a single stream with one set of standardized eligibility criteria, according to Metro News. According to the governmen, the AINP will become simpler for applicants and more efficient for government and more responsive to Alberta's emerging labour market demands. According to a release from the province, the changes will spur growth by nominating work-ready immigrants to fill labour-market needs. Immigrants are a valued part of our workforce and communities. These changes will simplify processes, reduce wait times and make it more fair for applicants across all sectors to apply for permanent residency in Alberta. Helping them settle successfully is crucial to the ongoing prosperity of our province, said labour minister, Christina Gray. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
