Canada to share the benefits of immigration allows its provinces to nominate skilled workers for nomination for Canada PR. By doing so, the provinces can meet their ever-increasing labour market gaps and grow its economy.
The benefit of the Provincial Nominee Program is borne collectively by the province and Canada. Because it follows the overall immigration goal to hire skilled workers for the right job. Thus, if you have the right skills for the right job then you too can get a nomination.
The idea of a province nominating a skilled worker is to showcase that it has a high demand for the nominee’s skills. As a result, the province would like to offer them nominations. After which the nomination holder can apply to IRCC for permanent residency in Canada.
Looking at the current slowing down of holding of Express Entry general draws, the PNP’s have merged as the best Canada PR pathway. And why not, all PNP’s are linked to the Express Entry (EE) System which makes the Canada PR route easy. As a result the need to know about the Canada PNP top provinces to apply in 2022 is up.

Alberta has recently revamped its PNP by changing its name from AINP to AAIP. It also added two new sub-streams targeting Alberta’s rural communities such as Rural Renewal Stream and Rural Entrepreneur Stream.
All these efforts are to attract foreign skilled workers to live, settle and grow the economy of Alberta. On a similar note, The AAIP Express Entry stream selects applicants from the EE pool.
