Semi-skilled worker category steps

1. Alberta Employers must apply to the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) for an allocation (Employer Approval)
    
   • Employers must ensure they meet the Employer Eligibility - Semi-Skilled Worker prior to applying to the Alberta PNP. Employers must also meet the specific criteria for the industry under which they are applying.
      
   • Employers must complete the Employer Application - Semi-Skilled Worker Category (ABPNP 001). All required supporting documents as indicated in the Instructions Checklist of the application form must also be submitted.
      
   • If the Employer has already selected a qualified Provincial Nominee Candidate when submitting the Employer Application - Semi-Skilled Worker Category (ABPNP 001), the Employer and Worker Application for a Skilled Occupation (ABPNP 002) and the Application for Provincial Nomination (ABPNP 003) may also be submitted with that application (see Step 2 below).
      
2. The Semi-Skilled Worker Candidate must apply to the AINP for an AINP Nomination either with the Employer Application - Semi-Skilled Worker Category, or once the employer is approved
    
   • The Semi-Skilled Worker candidate must meet the Provincial Nominee Program Candidate Eligibility prior to applying to the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program. Candidates must also meet the specific criteria for their industry.
      
   • The employer and the candidate must complete the Employer and Worker Application for a Semi-Skilled Occupation (ABPNP 002) together. All required supporting documents as indicated in the Instructions Checklist of the application form must also be submitted.
      
   • A candidate must complete the Application for Provincial Nomination (ABPNP 003). All required supporting documents as indicated in the Instructions Checklist of the application form must also be submitted.

Existing pre-approvals

If an employer has already been approved by the AINP for allocations in this category, and the employee candidate has not yet applied, please note:

• Employer and Worker Application for a Semi-Skilled Occupation (ABPNP 002) substitutes for what was previously called the Guaranteed Job Offer application.
   
• Application for Provincial Nomination (ABPNP 003) substitutes for what was previously called the Skilled Worker/Professional application.
