Alberta to Launch New AAIP Pathway for Law Enforcement Professionals

By Travis P July 17, 2024 2 min. read

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is launching a new pathway for law enforcement professionals seeking permanent residency in Canada. While the exact date is yet to be determined, applications are expected to open sometime this year.

This new pathway, under one of Canada’s 11 Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), aims to bolster Alberta’s police force by attracting skilled law enforcement professionals from abroad. It seeks to achieve two primary goals: addressing the province’s increasing crime rates and filling the gaps in police recruitment.

Alberta has seen a decrease in residents choosing law enforcement careers, making this new PNP stream crucial in supporting Alberta Police Services and maintaining public safety.

For 2024, the AAIP law enforcement pathway will offer 50 nomination slots for Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) candidates. Additionally, this pathway is aligned with Express Entry, requiring interested candidates to meet all standard Express Entry criteria to be eligible for permanent residency in Canada.

AAIP Law Enforcement Pathway Eligibility

To qualify for the AAIP law enforcement pathway, candidates must have a valid job offer from an employer who is a member of the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police (AACP). They must also meet all standard Express Entry requirements for permanent residency.

Eligible occupations under this pathway include:

What Is the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program?

The Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is an economic immigration program that empowers the Alberta government to nominate candidates for permanent residency. These nominees are individuals deemed well-equipped to contribute to the province’s economy and address its specific labor shortages and demographic requirements.

Second time working with Visaplace, and was successful again with a visa application for parents (2 out of 2). Worked with Felicita and Mansi, strong guidance, very detailed approach to putting together a very thorough and comprehensive application. Good feedback and support throughout the full process. Highly recommend Visaplace!

We are incredibly grateful to Attorney Felicita and her outstanding team for their exceptional legal support. Thanks to their expertise, professionalism, and efficiency, we were able to secure two work visas and a visitor visa for our family members — all within a remarkably short period of time.

Attorney Felicita’s leadership, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of immigration law made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The team was responsive, thorough, and truly committed to achieving the best outcome for us.

We highly recommend Attorney Felicita and her team to anyone in need of skilled and reliable legal representation. Their dedication and results speak for themselves.

Thank you 🙏
