The processing time of the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program is different for each stream. It depends on the visa class; the individual has filed their petition. It also depends on the CIC bureau, on what they have applied. Normally, it takes 6-12 months to process the application for skilled workers and international graduate’s class. It takes 9-15 months for a semi-skilled worker class. The application might take longer processing time based on the following factors:
• Labour Market Occupation Status
• The total number of application received
• Date of the application received.
• Application quality
• Completeness
• Eligibility
• Documents
• Volumes of application received.
After submitting their profile, the immigrant has to wait till their profile gets processed. Once their profile is processed, they will get a Notification of Interest (NOI) from the province.
