Strategic Recruitment Stream

Strategic Recruitment Stream

Under the Strategic Recruitment Stream, you may be able to apply directly to AINP without needing an employer to support your application. The Strategic Recruitment Stream is for skills that are in demand in Alberta. This stream may be adjusted according to changes in Alberta’s labour market.

There are 3 categories in this stream in which the AINP is currently accepting applications. Each category has specific criteria which must be met. If your application meets the AINP criteria it will be eligible for consideration. If your application does not meet AINP criteria, it will be refused.

1.      Compulsory and Optional Trades Category

Applicants who have a valid trade certificate in a compulsory or optional trade in Alberta issued or recognized by Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training (AIT).
