Alberta Announces New Opportunity Stream

Alberta, a province in Canada has announced the launch of a new stream of immigration called the Opportunity stream, which will commence accepting applications from 2nd Jan 2018 as a part of the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP).

The Alberta Opportunity stream is expected to provide a pathway for immigrant workers who are working in Alberta to obtain permanent residence in Canada. The opportunity streams applications will be processed outside the Express Entry selection system and those applications which are successful will be given a provincial nomination from Alberta, under the AINP, which would give them additional points for the Express Entry Program for permanent residence in Canada.

Most asked questions on Google

Canada: The Great White North is Number 1 on this list. With easy immigration processes, a welcoming society, great education and healthcare, cool weather, and the ever-growing job market, Canada is the undisputed leader in immigration potential.

Germany: The Deutschland is famous for precision, quality, and high expectations. Unsurprisingly, it makes the list but we’re still going to spell it out. Currently, home to over 170,000 Indians, Germany is a melting pot of different cultures mostly from other countries in the EU. A veritable hub for mechanical engineering, Germany has a low level of corruption, and a love for innovation and is home to over 25 Fortune 500 companies. With the demand for highly skilled professionals, Germany is a choice destination for young, smart immigrants from all over the world.

Provincial Nominee Program is one of the best routes for Canadian immigration. Every province (state) in Canada has its criteria for immigration. This criterion is custom-fitted to reflect the needs and growth opportunities arising in that respective province.

A Master’s Degree translates directly into a better CRS score. Your educational qualifications reflect the contribution you would make to the destination country’s economy which means that you would be more sought after. Speaking one of the country's primary languages (Eg: French for Canada) also greatly raises your chances for both visa success as well job opportunities.

If you fall under the NOC list in Canada or SOL in Australia (Occupations in demand list), it means that jobs are readily available for qualified candidates. On average, individuals earn 8 times as much salary in Canada as compared to India.
