While you wait: If you are already living and working in Alberta
• Do not let your work permit expire. You must be prepared to apply for another work permit while CIC is processing your application for Permanent Residence. Find out more about extending your work permit.
• If you have any changes to your job in Alberta, such as being laid-off or working for a new employer contact the AINP immediately.
While you wait: If you are not yet living and working in Alberta
• Do not make arrangements to move to Alberta until you have received your Permanent Resident visa; however, you can start preparing for living in Alberta.
• Search for a job in Alberta if you do not already have one. If you were nominated under the Family Stream or the Strategic Recruitment Stream, visit Working in Alberta for information on searching for a job in Alberta.
• Practice your English. English is the main language used in Alberta. Speaking the language will help you adjust more easily to your new home.
Your AINP Nomination gives you six (6) months to submit your Application for Permanent Residence as a Provincial Nominee to CIC. You are expected to submit your complete application to CIC before your Nomination expires. If your Nomination expires and you request an extension, the reasons why you need an extension will be reviewed by the AINP. There is no guarantee that you will be issued an extension.
To request a nomination extension from the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP), complete the Request for a Nomination Extension Form, assemble any supporting documents required, and fax to the AINP at (780) 427-6560. The AINP will not accept incomplete forms or forms without supporting documents. The AINP will not confirm receipt of documents.
