Since there is a temporary pause on Express Entry- FSW (Federal Skilled Worker) category draws, therefore, the PNPs, such as, Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP), is going to be a key alternate pathway to obtain the Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian PR (Permanent Resident) Visa from IRCC (Immigration Refugees, and Citizenship Canada).
The Express Entry stream of AINP invites the candidates with CRS score of as low as just 300 CRS points and subsequently, allocate the nomination certificate to selected candidates. This nomination make the applicant eligible to get 600 additional CRS points in its Express Entry CRS score. Needless to mention that such increased CRS score helps the applicant get the ITA from IRCC in next Express Entry System draw.
