2020-03-14 – Alberta\u2019s provincial government will develop a new immigration<\/a> strategy including two entrepreneur streams to help plug labour market gaps and create jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest barriers to growth in Alberta\u2019s digital economy is a shortage of people with relevant skills and experience,\u201d the budget statement said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although only preliminary details are available of the new initiatives, the budget statement did go into specifics about what candidates the government wants to attract.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the Startup Visa Stream, the budget said: \u201cThe startup visa will offer fast track processing for qualified graduates of top universities if they commit to launch a startup enterprise in Alberta, with a bridge to permanent residency through the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The visa is initially expected to specifically target \u201cforeign student graduates in the United States.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Foreign Graduate Entrepreneur Program \u201cwill offer similar fast track immigration opportunities for foreign nationals who have graduated from Alberta post-secondary institutions,\u201d the budget statement said.<\/span><\/p>\n

It added that the program would be \u201csupported by a renewed strategy to attract highly qualified foreign students to Alberta colleges and universities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, the only AINP offering for entrepreneurs is the Alberta Self-Employed Farmer Stream<\/a>, targeting applicants with farm management skills and sufficient financial resources to invest in a farming business in Alberta.<\/span><\/p>\n

The province also operates the Alberta Opportunity Stream<\/a> and Alberta Express Entry<\/a> for qualifying skilled workers and international graduates.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The budget also introduced a new plan to help new immigrants find work at their skill level more quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Immigrant immigration initiatives include speeding up and simplifying credential recognition in the province, already being tackled trough the Fair Registration Practices Act, passed in June 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
